Worksheets for teaching students how to use coordinating conjunctions "and," "but," and "so" in sentences, with example exercises and a green "ink saving Eco" label.

You’ve uploaded a worksheet titled “Using Coordinating Conjunctions: and, but, so”. The task is to extend each given sentence using the coordinating conjunctions and, but, and so — one for each version of the sentence.

Let’s solve it step by step.

🔹 Task Overview:

For each numbered sentence (like #1 and #2), you must write three new sentences:
- One using “and” (to add information),
- One using “but” (to show contrast),
- One using “so” (to show result or consequence).

The first example (#1) is already done for you:

> 1. I like eating ice cream.
> - I like eating ice cream and I like drinking milkshakes. ✔ *(adding similar idea)*
> - I like eating ice cream but I don’t enjoy eating ice lollies. ✔ *(contrast)*
> - I like eating ice cream so I asked my dad to buy me one. ✔ *(result/consequence)*

🔹 Now let’s solve #2:

> 2. My mum likes dancing.

We’ll create 3 new sentences using and, but, and so.

#### ➤ Using “and” (addition):
→ *My mum likes dancing and she also enjoys singing.*
*(Adds another activity she enjoys — similar positive interest.)*

#### ➤ Using “but” (contrast):
→ *My mum likes dancing but she doesn’t like going to loud clubs.*
*(Shows a contrast — she likes dancing, but not in certain environments.)*

#### ➤ Using “so” (result/consequence):
→ *My mum likes dancing so she takes weekly dance classes.*
*(Shows the result of her liking dancing — she acts on it.)*

✔ Final Answers for #2:

> My mum likes dancing and she also enjoys singing.
> My mum likes dancing but she doesn’t like going to loud clubs.
> My mum likes dancing so she takes weekly dance classes.

💡 Tip for Students:

- “and” = adds more of the same kind of idea.
- “but” = introduces something opposite or surprising.
- “so” = shows what happens because of the first part.

You can apply this pattern to any sentence! For example, if the next sentence was “I want to play soccer,” you could write:
- I want to play soccer and I also want to join the team.
- I want to play soccer but I’m afraid of getting hurt.
- I want to play soccer so I practiced every day.
