Conjunctions in a Story

This worksheet helps students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 strengthen both narrative writing and grammar skills by integrating conjunctions into a personal story. As learners write a short paragraph about a fun day with friends, family, or classmates, they practice using and underlining a variety of conjunctions-coordinating, subordinating, and correlative-while maintaining clear sequencing and engaging detail.
