## Q1) Circle the conjunction in each sentence.

Conjunctions are words that connect words, phrases, or clauses. Common conjunctions include: *and, but, or, so, because*.

Let’s identify and circle the conjunction in each sentence:

1. My favourite colors are red *and* white.
→ Conjunction: “and” — connects two nouns (“red” and “white”) as favorite colors.

2. I did it *because* I was angry.
→ Conjunction: “because” — connects the main clause (“I did it”) with the reason (“I was angry”). *(Note: “because” is a subordinating conjunction.)*

3. Would you like tea *or* coffee?
→ Conjunction: “or” — presents a choice between two options.

4. The store was closed, *so* I went home.
→ Conjunction: “so” — shows result or consequence (the store being closed caused me to go home).

5. I don’t like art, *but* I have to finish it.
→ Conjunction: “but” — shows contrast between disliking art and still having to finish it.

✔ Answers to Q1:
- 1. and
- 2. because
- 3. or
- 4. so
- 5. but

## Q2) Complete the sentences with the correct conjunction.

You’re given four choices: and, but, or, so

Let’s choose the best one for each sentence based on meaning.

1. My mom ___ dad took me to the movies.
→ We’re listing two people doing the same thing together → use “and”.
✔ Answer: and

2. John must study, ___ else he will not pass the test.
→ This shows a consequence — if he doesn’t study, he won’t pass. The word “else” suggests a result → use “or”.
(Note: “or else” is a common phrase meaning “otherwise.”)
✔ Answer: or

3. David ran fast, ___ he still did not win the race.
→ There’s a contrast — he ran fast, BUT didn’t win → use “but”.
✔ Answer: but

4. My favourite sports are basketball ___ soccer.
→ Listing two favorite sports → use “and”.
✔ Answer: and

5. Larry plays tennis ___ golf.
→ Again, listing two activities → use “and”.
✔ Answer: and

> 💡 Note: Some might think “or” could work here (if Larry plays one or the other), but since the sentence says “plays tennis ___ golf” without context suggesting choice, the most natural interpretation is that he plays both — so “and” is correct.
