Class III English worksheet focusing on conjunctions with a colorful fan diagram and sentence completion exercises.

Let's solve the worksheet step by step. The task is to complete each sentence with the correct conjunction from the "FANBOYS" list shown in the image:

FANBOYS stands for:
- For (reason)
- And (addition)
- Nor (negative addition)
- But (contrast)
- Or (choice)
- Yet (contrast, often with a nuance of surprise or contradiction)
- So (result)

We'll go through each sentence and choose the appropriate conjunction based on meaning.

Q1. Complete the sentences with the correct conjunction:

1. I know the answer, _________ I can’t tell you.
→ There’s a contrast: knowing the answer but not being able to tell.
✔ but

2. Should we go by train, _________ take the bus?
→ This is a choice between two options.
✔ or

3. I am allergic to cats, _________ I have two of them.
→ Contradiction — despite being allergic, owns cats.
✔ but (or possibly yet, but but is more common here)
✔ but (preferred in simple contrast)

4. She did not study, _________ she failed the test.
→ Cause and effect: not studying led to failing.
✔ so

5. I will be late for the party, _________ I will be having dinner with my parents first.
→ Explaining the reason for being late.
✔ because? Wait — but only FANBOYS are allowed.
→ But “because” is not in FANBOYS. So we need one that shows cause.
→ so would mean "I will be having dinner... so I will be late." But the structure is reversed.
→ Actually, this sentence needs a reason clause. Since “for” means “because,” it fits:
✔ for ("I will be late for the party, for I will be having dinner...")

6. Can you stay here _________ wait for him?
→ Joining two actions: staying and waiting.
✔ and

7. She does not like apples, _________ does she likes oranges.
→ Negative + negative — both fruits disliked? But second part says "she likes oranges."
→ Wait: “does she likes” is grammatically incorrect. Should be “nor does she like oranges.”
→ But the sentence says: “She does not like apples, _________ does she likes oranges.”
→ Likely typo: probably meant “nor does she like oranges.”
→ So, if she doesn’t like apples, and also doesn't like oranges → use nor
✔ nor

8. He has a small house, _________ it feels very spacious.
→ Contrast: small size but feels big.
✔ but or yet — both work, but yet adds a sense of surprise.
✔ yet (slightly better for unexpected result)

9. You can pay with cash, _________ you can use your credit card.
→ Choice between two payment methods.
✔ or

10. He was driving too fast, _________ he missed the turn.
→ Cause and effect: driving fast → missed turn.
✔ so

11. We bathed the dog, _________ we could not get clean.
→ Contradiction: we bathed the dog, but ended up dirty ourselves.
✔ but

12. He was supposed to study, _________ he played games instead.
→ Expected action vs. what actually happened — contrast.
✔ but

✔ Final Answers:

1. but
2. or
3. but
4. so
5. for
6. and
7. nor
8. yet
9. or
10. so
11. but
12. but

📌 Explanation Summary:

- but = contrast
- or = choice
- so = result
- for = reason (less common, but valid in formal writing)
- and = addition
- nor = negative addition (used after negative statements)
- yet = contrast with surprise

Note: In sentence 7, the original grammar is slightly off — "does she likes" should be "nor does she like". But assuming the intended meaning is "She doesn't like apples, nor does she like oranges", then nor is correct.
