Joining Sentences With Coordinating Conjunctions #1

Using coordinating conjunctions may be tricky, but you can practice with this helpful worksheet! For each question, students are given two simple sentences. Learners will turn the two sentences into one compound sentence by adding a coordinating conjunction and a comma.

Created for third, fourth, and fifth graders, this activity will teach students a common way to vary sentence structure. Writing with varied sentence structures can make writing smoother and more engaging. This is also a helpful way to reinforce comma usage in compound sentences. Proper punctuation is important for writing clear, grammatically correct sentences.
