Continuing on from our look as commas for lists yesterday, we will be looking at using commas in compound sentences today.
Here is an example sentence:
Tom was thrilled to be chosen to sing in assembly, but Jim really didn't want to.
When we are writing this type of sentence we put the comma before the conjunction. Copy and complete these sentences. I've put the comma in the first sentence, but you will need to figure out where they go in the others.
The car was all scratched and damaged, because _______________ .
The weather was really nice in the morning but ________________ .
Sally usually likes pizza although _________________ .
Tricky Sentences - With the conjunction at the beginning.
If you don't complete your homework, then ___________________ .
When you cross the road, you should always _________________ .
Now have a go at writing a compound sentence about these pictures:
Use any of these conjunctions - but however although when if therefore
