Combine with Conjunctions Answer Key

In this worksheet, students combine pairs of short, choppy sentences into smoother, more complex sentences using the correct conjunction. They must decide when to use a coordinating conjunction to join equal ideas and when to use a subordinating conjunction to connect a dependent idea to a main idea. Each item provides two simple sentences about a school day, and students rewrite them as one cohesive sentence. This activity strengthens understanding of sentence structure, improves fluency, and reinforces how conjunctions affect meaning. Learners also practice using context to determine logical relationships between clauses.
