Practise Joining Words and Clauses Using 'and'

The word 'and' helps us to join words, phrases and short sentences together.

 

 Such as:

 

fish and chips

 

 

 

 

bread and butter

 

If we join longer phrases or clauses together, this makes a sentence.

 

I see a green frog.	I see a black cat.

 

We can join sentences together (like the two above) by adding the word 'and' to make a longer sentence!

I see a green frog and a black cat.

 

It doesn't matter which part is first or second.

We could also say:

I see a black cat and a green frog.

 

 

Helpful tip coming up!

 

When we make a sentence using 'and' we must check that it starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop.

I see a green frog and a black cat.
 

In this activity, we will practise joining words, short phrases, clauses and sentences together using 'and'.

 

Just remember:

1) We join words by adding 'and'.

2) A sentence must start with a capital letter and end with a full stop.

 

Now it's your turn! Good luck!
