Use transitions and conjunctions to connect ideas. Lesson to be used by EDI-trained teachers only. An independent clause has a subject and a verb (SV) and contains a complete thought.

Tony likes dancing, but Lydia likes singing. CFU Teacher performs problem 1 and student’s complete problem 2. Students, we sometimes use different conjunctions such as “and” or “but” to show a specific relationship among sentences. The conjunction “and” relates the idea of what Rosa likes to do. The conjunction “but” shows the difference between ideas of what Tony and Lydia like to do. Conjunctions are used to combine two separate independent clauses that have a specific relationship, which is called consolidating sentences. Today, we will use conjunctions to revise writing by consolidating sentences.

Use transitions and conjunctions to connect ideas. Lesson to be used by EDI-trained teachers only. Concept Development To consolidate sentences means to combine sentences that have related ideas into one sentence. We can consolidate sentences by making a compound sentence. A compound sentence is made up of two independent clauses. A compound sentence can be formed by linking two similar independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction and inserting a comma. The coordinating conjunction shows a relationship between the two independent clauses.
