Joining words and ideas: and, but, so, because, although, if, unless. · about 13 minutes

Step 1 of 5

Introduction

What is it? A conjunction joins words, phrases or whole ideas: tea and biscuits; I was tired but happy; We stayed in because it was raining.

Why does it matter? Conjunctions turn short, choppy sentences into smooth ones and show how ideas connect - adding, contrasting, giving reasons or conditions.

Where do we use it? "Can I go out if I finish my homework?" "I like dosa, but I love idli."

In this lesson you will:

Use and, but, or, so, yet, nor to join equal ideas
Use because, although, if, unless, when, while to join a main idea with a reason, condition or time
Choose the conjunction that matches the meaning
