00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:12.799
troduction to conjunctions for kids

4
00:00:12.799 --> 00:00:17.279
today we are talking about conjunctions

5
00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:19.680
you know the kinds of words that help

6
00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:23.880
hold or connect words phrases and

7
00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:25.739
sentences together

8
00:00:25.739 --> 00:00:28.080
kind of like the glue you would use to

9
00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:30.660
create a collage or another cool art

10
00:00:30.660 --> 00:00:32.340
project

11
00:00:32.340 --> 00:00:35.280
let's learn more shall we

12
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:37.920
have you ever heard the word Junction

13
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:39.239
before

14
00:00:39.239 --> 00:00:42.360
a junction is a place where something is

15
00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:45.719
joined together like where a road meets

16
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:47.640
train tracks

17
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.520
when it comes to sentences conjunctions

18
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:52.739
do the same kind of thing

19
00:00:52.739 --> 00:00:55.680
they can join two sentences together to

20
00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:57.719
form one sentence

21
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.360
which makes the sentence easier to

22
00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:03.960
understand this is why conjunctions are

23
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.959
sometimes called joining words

24
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:08.040
foreign

25
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.220
here is an interesting fact there are

26
00:01:11.220 --> 00:01:14.040
three different kinds of conjunctions

27
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.560
coordinating conjunctions

28
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.780
correlative conjunctions

29
00:01:18.780 --> 00:01:23.100
and subordinating conjunctions

30
00:01:23.100 --> 00:01:26.400
we are going to learn about all three

31
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:28.200
let's start with coordinating

32
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.000
conjunctions

33
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.640
coordinating conjunctions are used to

34
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.240
join a noun with another noun an

35
00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:39.060
adjective with another adjective

36
00:01:39.060 --> 00:01:42.780
an adverb with another adverb

37
00:01:42.780 --> 00:01:44.100
Etc

38
00:01:44.100 --> 00:01:47.400
or they combine phrases and clauses

39
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.979
together

40
00:01:49.979 --> 00:01:52.799
examples of coordinating conjunctions

41
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:54.600
are

42
00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:55.860
four

43
00:01:55.860 --> 00:01:57.180
and

44
00:01:57.180 --> 00:01:58.740
nor

45
00:01:58.740 --> 00:02:00.119
but

46
00:02:00.119 --> 00:02:01.560
or

47
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.000
yet

48
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:04.439
so

49
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.320
want to know a fun trick you can use the

50
00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:10.440
acronym Fanboys to help you remember

51
00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:12.239
each word

52
00:02:12.239 --> 00:02:13.500
foreign

53
00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:16.139
let's see if we can find the right

54
00:02:16.139 --> 00:02:18.360
conjunction to complete the following

55
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.220
sentences

56
00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:23.180
remember we are only going to use

57
00:02:23.180 --> 00:02:25.940
coordinating conjunctions

58
00:02:25.940 --> 00:02:28.980
the dog blank

59
00:02:28.980 --> 00:02:31.620
cat get along

60
00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:36.180
blank do not share their food

61
00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:39.239
which words do you think work best in

62
00:02:39.239 --> 00:02:41.160
this sentence

63
00:02:41.160 --> 00:02:43.560
did you choose these words

64
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.180
excellent

65
00:02:45.180 --> 00:02:48.959
the dog and cat get along

66
00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:52.379
but do not share their food

67
00:02:52.379 --> 00:02:55.440
should we try more

68
00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:57.840
I do not like ice cream

69
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.120
blank popsicles

70
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.480
blank I never eat them

71
00:03:03.480 --> 00:03:08.340
which conjunctions work in this sentence

72
00:03:08.340 --> 00:03:12.840
I do not like ice cream or popsicles

73
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.500
so I never eat them

74
00:03:15.500 --> 00:03:19.700
well done word Wizards

75
00:03:19.700 --> 00:03:25.019
next up are correlative conjunctions

76
00:03:25.019 --> 00:03:28.500
the word correlate means to compare or

77
00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:31.919
relate so these conjunctions are used in

78
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.340
pairs to join alternative or equal

79
00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:38.640
elements like nouns or adjectives

80
00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:41.700
together in one sentence

81
00:03:41.700 --> 00:03:45.060
words like either or

82
00:03:45.060 --> 00:03:47.640
neither nor

83
00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:50.580
not only but also

84
00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:53.519
and if then

85
00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:57.900
are all correlative conjunctions

86
00:03:57.900 --> 00:04:00.480
here is an example of a sentence that

87
00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:04.080
uses correlative conjunctions

88
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.019
neither rain nor snow keeps the mail

89
00:04:07.019 --> 00:04:09.480
from being delivered

90
00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:12.599
Can you spot the conjunctions

91
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:17.160
that is right neither and nor are the

92
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.220
conjunctions in this sentence

93
00:04:20.220 --> 00:04:23.940
now you try which words work best for

94
00:04:23.940 --> 00:04:26.900
the following sentence

95
00:04:26.900 --> 00:04:31.740
she blank blank won a gold medal blank

96
00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:35.520
blank a silver medal

97
00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:39.779
hmm what do you think

98
00:04:39.779 --> 00:04:44.460
does your sentence read she not only won

99
00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:50.220
a gold medal but also a silver medal

100
00:04:50.220 --> 00:04:53.759
awesome work you are all getting good at

101
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:55.860
this

102
00:04:55.860 --> 00:04:59.460
last up our subordinating conjunctions

103
00:04:59.460 --> 00:05:02.460
they are words or phrases that connect

104
00:05:02.460 --> 00:05:05.940
dependent clauses which are incomplete

105
00:05:05.940 --> 00:05:07.680
sentences on their own

106
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.620
two independent clauses

107
00:05:10.620 --> 00:05:13.139
which can stand alone as their own

108
00:05:13.139 --> 00:05:16.220
separate sentences

109
00:05:16.339 --> 00:05:19.500
subordinating conjunctions can also be

110
00:05:19.500 --> 00:05:23.400
used to introduce adverb clauses

111
00:05:23.400 --> 00:05:27.839
after although as soon as

112
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:29.279
because

113
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.020
before

114
00:05:31.020 --> 00:05:32.699
even if

115
00:05:32.699 --> 00:05:33.960
since

116
00:05:33.960 --> 00:05:35.699
unless

117
00:05:35.699 --> 00:05:37.440
until

118
00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:39.180
whenever

119
00:05:39.180 --> 00:05:41.100
whether or not

120
00:05:41.100 --> 00:05:44.759
and while are just a few examples of

121
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.020
subordinating conjunctions

122
00:05:48.020 --> 00:05:52.259
wow that's a lot of information let's

123
00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:54.960
look at an example of a sentence with

124
00:05:54.960 --> 00:05:58.440
subordinating conjunctions

125
00:05:58.440 --> 00:06:01.919
whether or not you believe me I am

126
00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:03.720
telling the truth

127
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:05.900
foreign

128
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.680
commas can be used with conjunctions to

129
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.100
help make a sentence clearer

130
00:06:14.100 --> 00:06:16.979
here are some rules to keep in mind when

131
00:06:16.979 --> 00:06:19.560
deciding whether to use a comma in a

132
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.440
sentence or not

133
00:06:22.440 --> 00:06:25.740
use commas when there is a list of three

134
00:06:25.740 --> 00:06:28.259
or more things

135
00:06:28.259 --> 00:06:32.039
for lunch today I ate a hamburger french

136
00:06:32.039 --> 00:06:35.759
fries and a pizza

137
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:39.120
use them between two independent clauses

138
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.419
or sentences

139
00:06:42.419 --> 00:06:45.900
we may spend some time on the beach or

140
00:06:45.900 --> 00:06:48.979
we may go to the Moon

141
00:06:48.979 --> 00:06:52.800
for short Clauses a comma is not always

142
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.080
needed

143
00:06:55.080 --> 00:07:00.479
Noah drinks soda and Emma drinks juice

144
00:07:00.479 --> 00:07:04.319
a comma when a dependent or subordinate

145
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:08.279
clause begins a sentence

146
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.460
unless chocolate sauce is available I

147
00:07:11.460 --> 00:07:14.639
will not eat a hot dog

148
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.280
that's silly I'd rather have ketchup

149
00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:19.020
with my hot dog

150
00:07:19.020 --> 00:07:21.840
the important word here though is the

151
00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:25.020
conjunction unless that begins our

152
00:07:25.020 --> 00:07:28.080
dependent clause

153
00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:31.139
and if the dependent clause comes at the

154
00:07:31.139 --> 00:07:35.940
end of the sentence no comma is needed

155
00:07:35.940 --> 00:07:39.419
I will not eat ice cream if there is no

156
00:07:39.419 --> 00:07:41.660
ketchup available

157
00:07:41.660 --> 00:07:47.479
what ketchup on ice cream no thanks

158
00:07:47.479 --> 00:07:50.160
conjunctions are an important part of

159
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.800
speech and can be used to make your

160
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.680
sentences easier to understand

161
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.919
they are the glue that holds sentences

162
00:07:58.919 --> 00:08:02.280
together the more you use them the

163
00:08:02.280 --> 00:08:04.259
easier it will be to create awesome

164
00:08:04.259 --> 00:08:08.460
sentences and remember practice makes

165
00:08:08.460 --> 00:08:10.919
progress
