Conjunctions

This week, we started unit 2: I am Special!
We learnt the use of conjunctions (connectors) during our grammar lesson.
Conjunctions are linking words or connectors, which are used to join 2 or more statements to give additional information.

There are 3 types of Conjunctions learnt:
1) to show addition: and, besides, moreover, as well as...
eg. Andy enjoyed watching and playing sports.

2) to show contrast: but, however, although, even if...
eg. Sarah did not have a lot of money but she wanted to study in Britain.

3) to show choice: or, either... or, neither... nor
eg. You can have a new computer or you can continue to use the outdated model.
