         To the Learner
We’re almost done for this week and you’re doing just fine with those exercises!
For our next lesson, you will learn more about conjunctions.
Bear in mind that when we communicate with others, being polite at all times is a
good attitude to be observed.
          Let’s Learn This
       Previously, there were exercises prepared for you to help you compose your
own clear and coherent sentences using subordinate conjunctions. Now we’re
here to discuss about coordinate conjunctions.
      As we improve your writing skills, you should remember that you have to be
open to criticism. It’s always a good attitude to possess.
           Let’s Try This
Task 1. Picture Analysis: Look at the picture below and describe what you see to
your classmates.

                                        A Surprise for Me
                                      by Michelle B. Balatbat
                             As soon as I opened my eyes that beautiful
                     Saturday morning, Papa told me that I should get ready
                     for he’s got a surprise for me! Though I still feel like
                     staying in bed for I am still sleepy, I knew it was
                     something I’ll definitely enjoy! Just as I finished
                     preparing myself up, Mom came up and told me to hurry
                     up.
                             Once we got to the car, Papa told me that I
                     would definitely enjoy where we are going! I’m feeling
                     all the excitement and once we parked into this
                     unfamiliar garage I wonder, whose house that was? Until
                     we knocked on the door, I kept trying to make guesses of
                     who’s house could that be? And just as the door opens, I
                     heard a familiar voice!
                             “Come in, come in!” says that lovely voice.
                              It’s grandma! While I was jumping up and down
                     Grandma showed up with a wonderful smile! As soon as
                     I saw her, my heart felt so happy. It’s been a long time
                     since I’ve seen her and this is such a wonderful surprise!
                     Even though the house is quite old, it felt so comfortable
                     and welcoming. While they were preparing for lunch, I
                     went to Papa and whispered, “Thank you for this surprise
                     Papa! I really missed, Gradma!”
                               “You’re welcome, my son. Whenever you want
                     to visit her just tell me and I’ll bring you here.”
   Now, it’s time for you to read it aloud.
Task 3. Think about It
      Answer these questions:
    Why did the boy wake up early?
    Where did they drive to see the surprise?
    Do you think he had fun with that surprise? Explain your answer.

       Look at the underlined words used in the story.
              just as             although               while
              though              once                   even though
              as soon as          until                  whenever
      These words are called conjunctions known as subordinating conjunctions.
These are also joining words used to join two words, phrases and clauses to make
one long sentence.
Let’s analyze this:

Here are some common subordinating conjunctions that you should remember:

Task 5. Sing Along
               Let’s Remember This
     Subordinating conjunctions joins a subordinate clause to a main clause
     A subordinate clause cannot exist alone as a single sentence because it
depends on a main clause for its meaning.
      They often show comparison, a reason, a purpose, time, or place.
            Let’s Test Ourselves
Task 6. Testing… 1,2,3!
      The sentences below either have subordinating clause or a coordinating
clause. Circle the conjunction used in each sentence, then shade SC box if it is a
subordinating conjunction or shade the CC box if it is a coordinating conjunction:
1. James picked the dinner, and Nadine picked the dessert.       SC       CC
2. Malia laughed when the puppy chased its tail.                 SC       CC
