Let's solve this step by step.
The task is to
circle the conjunction in each sentence. A
conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses. Common conjunctions include:
-
Coordinating conjunctions: *and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet*
-
Subordinating conjunctions: *because, although, since, while, if, when, so that*, etc.
We'll go through each sentence and identify the conjunction.
