 D. Discussion

*Powerpoint Presentation*

Now, let us have our lesson for today. Before we

start, I have a question. What comes into your mind
when you hear about the word “Conjunction”? (Students will raise their hand)

Yes, Ian. Ian: Conjunction is a word used to connect clauses

or sentences or to coordinate words in the same
clause.
Very good.

For our today’s lesson, we will discuss how to use

coordinating conjunctions. But let us define first what
coordinating conjunctions are.

Coordinating conjunction is a conjunction that

connects words, phrases, and clauses that are
coordinate, or equal to each other. There are seven
coordinating conjunctions: for, and, nor, but, or, yet,
so. They can be remembered using the acronym
FANBOYS.

Are you familiar with the “FANBOYS? Yes, Ma’am.

John, FANBOYS stands for?

John: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So
Very good.

Now, let us discuss the proper usage of FANBOYS.

The first conjunction is “For”

Do you have any idea when do we need to use the

conjunction “for”? (Students will raise their hand)

Yes, Camille.
Camille: we use “for” as the substitute for the word
“because”, Ma’am.
Very good.

We can also use “for” as a substitute for the word

“because”. It also indicates a relationship between
two main clauses by indicating that one clause is the
reason that the other is happening.

Example: Aileen eats healthy foods, for she wants to

stay fit.
Christian: My mother baked a cake, for it’s my
Christian, kindly give us another example of a
birthday.
parallel sentence with the coordinating conjunction
“for”.

Correct.

Now, let us proceed to the second one.

We use “and” in joining two words, phrases, or

clauses.

Example: Jose can play basketball and volleyball.

Nicole, kindly give me an example of a sentence

Nicole: Arnold thinks that jogging and running are
using the conjunction “and”.
the easiest exercises.
Correct.

Another example from the class.

(Students will raise their hand)
Yes, Abby.
Abby: Sandy and Luis are one of my closest friends.
That’s great.

Our third conjunction is “but”. When do we use

(Students will raise their hand)
“but”?

Yes, Joanna.
Joanna: But is used to connect two contradicting
ideas, Ma’am.
That’s correct.

But is a coordinating conjunction used to connect

ideas that contrast.

Example: Mariel loves cakes, but hates cookies.

Haydee, kindly give us an example of a sentence Haydee: I want to cook, but there is no stuff.
using the conjunction “but”.

Very good.
The next coordinating conjunction is “or”.

If we use “but” to connect two contradicting ideas,

when do we use “or”? (Students will raise their hand)

Yes, Mae.
Mae: Or is used to show choices, Ma’am.
That’s correct.

Or is a conjunction that connects two or more

possibilities or choices,

Example: You can have tea or coffee.

Who can give us an example of a sentence using the

conjunction “or”? (Students will raise their hand)

Yes, Trina.
Trina: Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Very good.

The next coordinating conjunction is “Yet”. When do

we use “yet”? (Students will raise their hand)

Yes, Sam. Sam: It is similar to “but”, Ma’am. They both

connect two contradicting ideas.
Correct.

Yet as a conjunction means 'but' that connects two

contradicting statements or ideas.

Example: Her advice seems strange, yet I believe

she's right.

I want to hear an example of a sentence using (Students will raise their hand)
coordinating conjunction “yet” from the class.

Kim, kindly me us another example. Kim: The weather was cold, yet bright and sunny.

That’s correct.

Our last coordinating conjunction is “so”.

So can link two independent clauses.
Example: I was hungry, so I made myself a
sandwich.

Who can give us an example of a sentence using the

conjunction “so”? (Students will raise their hand)

Yes, Matt. Matt: He is sick, so he will not go to school.

Very good.

Do you have any question, class? None, Ma’am.

E. Generalization

Did you enjoy our activity?

Students: Yes, Ma’am.
Very good. I’m happy that you all understand our
lesson.

Before we move forward. Let us have another review

of our lesson.

Again, what is coordinating conjunction? Students: Coordinating Conjunction is a word used

to connect clauses or sentences or to coordinate
That’s correct. Coordinating Conjunction is a word words in the same clause.
used to connect clauses or sentences or to coordinate
words in the same clause.
Students: FANBOYS, Ma’am.
Now, what is the acronym of coordinating
conjunctions that we commonly use?
Students: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So
FANBOYS stands for?

Very good. I’m happy that you all understand our

lesson.
