and but
or
to make compound sentences.
E.g. I love playing with my friends. I hate doing my homework.

3. I love my dog. He makes my bed all muddy.
4. Sam likes going swimming. She hates getting wet.
5. I tried to speak French. My friend tried to speak English.
When a clause is added to a sentence using a conjunction it becomes a complex
sentence.
We can use the conjunctions where when if because to make complex sentences.
E.g. Because someone had trodden on his paw, the dog had to go to the vets.
Finish these sentences by adding a subordinate clause.
1. I like this part of the film where…
2. We will win the football match if…
3. Because it was raining, …
4. When the fire alarm was set off, …

e.g. I was a shy boy and I liked nothing better than to hide away in my bedroom…
David was a shy boy and he liked nothing better than to hide away in his
bedroom and read his comics. His favourite was Spiderman and he dreamed
of having Spiderman’s powers. He thought it would be so much fun to jump
between buildings and climb up skyscrapers. He wished he could do that
instead of being bossed around by his older sister all the time. He liked going
to school because he could get away from her and he could play superheroes
with his friends. The only problem was David got into a lot of trouble for
daydreaming. He would always try his hardest to concentrate but after a
while he would find his mind drifting off and thinking about how he could
become a superhero when he grew up. What special powers would he have?
Who would he save? There were just so many things to think about!
