Target 7: Joining Sentences with Conjunctions
Task 3 Find your own evidence
Choose a piece of written work, from any subject that shows you have used
conjunctions to make compound sentences.
1. Find three compound sentences and underline their conjunctions in your chosen
piece of writing.
1 point
2. For each of the three sentences, suggest a different conjunction that you
could have used instead.
1 point
Note: If you do not have a suitable sample of work, you can write a
paragraph about a topic of your own choice, making sure you have used three
compound sentences and use this as evidence instead.
For example, you could write about a holiday, a sport that you enjoy or a
special event (like a wedding or birthday party).
Summary: Joining Sentences with Conjunctions
A SIMPLE SENTENCE has one verb and one main
idea (one complete piece of information).
Simple sentences can be joined together by
CONJUNCTIONS to make a COMPOUND
SENTENCE.
You can make your writing more interesting by
using different conjunctions.
REMEMBER:
SIMPLE SENTENCE + CONJUNCTION + SIMPLE SENTENCE = COMPOUND SENTENCE
