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.

Let’s Study This
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:

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

clause. Circle the conjunction used in each sentence, then shade SC box if it is a
