Joining sentences
And , but and so are conjunctions . They are used to join two ideas. We use: • and when something is added: People can relax and take exercise. • but when something is surprising: Church Field is central but it is quiet. • so to show a result: Burgess Field is far from school so we cannot do P.E. there.

• Addresses: Conventions for punctuating addresses differ. Tell students if you wish them to use different punctuation. It is becoming common to omit commas from addresses altogether. • Conjunctions: And, but, and so are used to join two ideas when the two ideas are equally important. They are called coordinating conjunctions . Sentences joined with coordinating conjunctions are called compound sentences.
