UNIT 3
Lesson 1: Coordinating Conjunctions
A sentence can be made of words, phrases, and clauses. These words are connected by words such as and, but, and or. These are called conjunctions. Different conjunctions are used in different sentence structures. Although a lot of them may have similar uses, it is good to know that you can use as many conjunctions for your day-to-day conversations. In this unit, you will be able to learn about the different kinds of conjunctions.
Learn About It!
One type of conjunction is the coordinating conjunction. A coordinating conjunction is used to connect or join words, phrases, and clauses together. Examples of coordinating conjunctions are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. Remember that some of these conjunctions can also function as other types of conjunctions. Coordinating conjunctions can join two or more words or phrases. A comma is used to separate 3 or more nouns or phrases that are connected by a coordinating conjunction. Examples:
Do you prefer running or jogging?

Coordinating conjunctions are also used in a compound sentence. A compound sentence is made up of two independent clauses. An independent clause expresses a complete thought. It has a subject and a predicate. Remember that a comma is placed before the conjunction if it is used to connect independent clauses. Examples:
Underline the coordinating conjunctions in the following sentences.
Underline the appropriate coordinating conjunction for each sentence.. 1. Dan (and, yet) his brothers are at the campsite. 2. We have to be punctual with submission, (nor, but) our work must be free of
Lesson 2: Subordinating Conjunctions
Remember in the previous lesson that if two ideas with equal importance are put together, a coordinating conjunction must be used. What if you have two sentences, but the other one is less important than the other statement? How do you combine these two?
Warm-up! Complete the following statements and share your thoughts to your classmate afterwards.
Learn About It!
A subordinating conjunction is another type of conjunction. It is used in complex sentences. A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and a dependent clause. A dependent clause, unlike an independent clause, does not have a complete thought. It cannot stand on its own to be a sentence.
A subordinating conjunction can be found either at the beginning of the sentence or between the clauses that it links together. Some common subordinating conjunctions used in complex sentences are after, although, as, as if, because, before, even if, even though, if, rather than, since, that, though, unless, until, when, where, whereas, wherever, whether, which, and while. Remember that a comma is placed between the two clauses if the dependent clause comes before the independent clause.
Examples:
Although she had money, she chose not to buy the toy.

Lesson 3: Correlative Conjunctions
Effective sentence construction is achieved through a play of words and various sentence construction. To keep the sentence lively, we use connectors like subordinating and coordinating conjunctions. Another category for this part of speech is the correlative conjunction.
Warm-up!
Finding the Missing Piece Prepare several sets of correlative conjunctions. Break them into two. For example, with the conjunction, not only...but also, break them into two separate sheets of paper. Hence, in one paper - you have the word “ not only” while the other paper has the word “ but also”. Distribute the strips of paper in the classroom until every student gets a sheet. Tell them to move around and find a
Learn About It!
Examples:
Gary not only stayed at Jenny’s house but he also helped her in her project.
Whether we like it or not, we have to search for the answer.
Remember that correlative conjunctions must connect elements with similar grammatical structure (nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc).
