conjunctions.

Read the passage silently

A Present for Cynthia

Cynthia wanted to have a party on her birthday, but she decided to have it
at home with her family and a small group of friends. After eating the food
prepared by her mother, her friends convinced her to open her gifts. “Come
on, Cynthia, we’re excited to see if you like our present for you,” Donna said.
“Yes, maybe it will be nice to see all your other gifts and the special surprise
you received from your parents and your grandma. We’re dying to see them,”
Ana exclaimed. “Let’s go to my room then,” Cynthia replied excitedly. Cheryl
commented, “Can’t we just stay here in the living room? Your sister is asleep
in your room and we might disturb her.” Cynthia opened the first box and she
clapped her hands when she saw the Hello Kitty bag she had longed to have.
As she opened the next box, she sighed, “Oh no, this dress is good, but the
color doesn’t suit me.” Angela signaled, “Ssssh. Your grandma can hear you.
Didn’t that present come from her? “Oh. I’m sorry to have said that. It’s really
a nice present. I’ll wear it on Sunday.” Cynthia raised her voice to make up
for her tactless blunder.

Here are the following sentences taken from the story.

1. Cynthia wanted to have a party on her birthday, but she decided to

have it at home with her family and a small group of friends

2. Maybe it will be nice to see all your other gifts and the special surprise
you received from your parents and your grandma

3. This dress is good, but the color doesn’t suit me

Observe how the underlined words are used to link parts of the sentences.
The underlined and highlighted words were used to connect the phrases or
clauses. These words are called conjunctions.
7
A conjunction is a word that connects or joins together words, phrases,
clauses, or sentences. There are two kinds of conjunctions. One of it is a
coordinating conjunction.

Coordinating conjunctions coordinate or join two or more sentences, main

clauses, words, or other parts of speech of equal rank.

Read the sentences which uses conjunctions below:

You can eat

your cake
with a spoon
or pork.
I hate to
waste food,
for it costly
these days.
My sister loves
eating cake but
she hates getting
fat.
Anna refuses to
eat the cake nor
wants to taste the
ice cream.

It is easier to remember the coordinating conjunctions if you think of the word

FANBOYS.
