activity is called “Word Order”

Here’s the directions.

Directions: Arrange the words in a correct

sentence.

watch the ducks on the lake.
Anyone from this class?

3. Analysis

Now, let us start with the question “What is

Coordinating Conjunctions?”
Coordinating Conjunctions are a type of
conjunction that join two or more words,
phrases, or clauses of equal value. The most
common coordinating conjunctions in English
are:
For - It is used to indicate a reason or cause.
Example: I couldn’t go to the party, for I had to
study for my exam.
As you can see here in the given example the
conjunction “for” is used to tell the reason why
the subject couldn’t go to the party and that is
because he or she need to study for his or her

exam.
It is understood?
Okay. Can you think of an example?
Any hand? Yes, Ma’am.

Yes, Mr./Ms.______________.

Is it understood?

Is it clear?
And - It is used to add two or more things
together. Yes, Ma’am.
Example: I went to the store and bought some
milk and bread.
(The teacher will ask the students for
examples.)
Nor - It is used to indicate a negative condition,
which is followed by another negative
(Students will give examples.)
condition.
Example: She neither called me nor texted me.
(The teacher will ask the students for
examples.)
But - It is used to introduce a word or phrase
that contrasts with what has been said before.
(Students will give examples.)
Example: He is a great singer, but he is not a
good dancer.
(The teacher will ask the students for
examples.)
Or - It is used to give a choice between two or
more things.
Example: Do you want coffee or tea? (Students will give examples.)
(The teacher will ask the students for
examples.)

Yet - It is used to introduce a contrasting idea

or fact. (Students will give examples.)

Example: She failed the test, yet she was

promoted to the next grade.
(The teacher will ask the students for
examples.)

So - It is used to indicate a result or

consequence.
Example: She studied hard, so she got good
grades.
(The teacher will ask the students for (Students will give examples.)
examples.)
Coordinating conjunctions can be used to make
sentences more complex and interesting, but
it's important to use them correctly to avoid
confusion or grammatical errors.

(Students will give examples.)

Is that clear?

Do you have any question?

Yes, Ma’am.

None, Ma’am.

4. Abstraction

Now, let us have a recap.

For you to better understand the use of

coordinating conjunctions in a sentence, take a
look at this table.

so indicate a

while.

Okay. Very good!

5. Application

Identification
Directions: Read the passage. Identify the
coordinating conjunctions used in the passage.
Moira is my favorite singer. I love her, for she can
sing sweetly. My family and friends also like her. I
believe, Moira hasn’t taken singing lessons, nor she
does need it to. She is popular but humble. While
she is performing, she can fill me with joy, or she
can bring me to tears. Other singers have tried to
imitate her, yet they have not succeeded. Moira is
gifted with her strong and sweet voice, so she will
attract her fans for many years.

Matching type
Match the column A to column B.

Draw
Create or draw a semantic web about coordinating
conjunction.

Fill in the blanks.

A passage that need to fill with the appropriate
coordinating conjunction.
Directions: Complete each sentence. You will only
use each conjunction once.

Now, let us have a group quiz bee.

conjunction that connects words, phrases, or
clauses in a sentence. The seven
coordinating conjunctions are for, and, nor,
but, or, yet, and so.
