Conjunctions micro-lesson

Our app lets your child earn screen time minutes in their favourite apps by watching educational videos and correctly answering quiz questions. And the best part?

Learning time​

Kids learn by watching short, engaging video lessons.

This lesson is all about conjunctions. Conjunctions link words or phrases together. There are two main types of conjunction. Coordinating conjunctions link words or phrases with equal emphasis on both. We can remember all the coordinating conjunctions using the FANBOYS acronym, so For, And, No, But, Or, Yet, So. An example sentence would be, “I like winter, but I love summer.” Subordinating conjunctions introduce a subordinate clause to a main clause. The two parts of the sentence are therefore not equal in significance. There are lots of these, but some common examples are because, when, while, whenever, or after. So, a sentence might be, “I like autumn because the leaves turn brown.”
