Connecting Ideas with Conjunctions

Conjunctions are words that help connect ideas in a sentence. Here are the main conjunctions we use:

• And: adds more information
• But: shows a difference
• Or: gives a choice

Examples:

• And: "I like coffee, and I enjoy tea."
• But: "I like summer, but I love winter."
• Or: "Do you want pizza, or do you prefer pasta?"

Key Grammar Points

1. Subject-Verb Agreement: Make sure the subject (who or what you are talking about) matches the verb (the action).

   • She plays soccer. (Not "She play soccer.")

2. Asking Questions: Use words like "who," "what," "where," "when," "why," and "how" to ask questions.

   • What do you like?

3. Simple Past Tense: For regular verbs, you add “-ed” to talk about something that happened in the past.

   • He walked to school.

4. Negative Sentences: Use "not" to make a sentence negative.

   • Present: I do not like apples.
   • Past: I did not like the movie.
