2. Grammar Pattern of the Week
A conjunction connects other words or groups of words. Coordinating conjunctions join similar groups of words (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so- FANBOYS). Subordinating conjunctions join a subordinate clause to a main clause. (after, as, because, before, if, since, though, when, where, while)

3. Prefix:
Sub- = under, below, less than
Sentence Example:
The sublime submarine was new and shiny, certainly not substandard!

4. Conjunctions Practice
 Remember the acronym FANBOYS: For-And-Nor-But-Or-Yet-So.
