Conjunctions & Commas Practice

Grammar and punctuation illustration

📚 Part 1: Identifying Subordinating Conjunctions

Instructions: Read each sentence and circle the subordinating conjunction. Remember, subordinating conjunctions connect a dependent clause to an independent clause.

Example: Although it was raining, we went to the park.

1. Because the weather was cold, Sarah wore her heavy coat.
2. We will start the movie after everyone arrives.
3. Since you finished your homework, you may play outside.
4. The game was cancelled when it started to snow.

✏️ Part 2: Adding Commas to Complex Sentences

Instructions: Rewrite each sentence below, adding commas where needed. Remember: When a dependent clause comes before an independent clause, use a comma to separate them.

Example: While I was cooking dinner my sister set the table. → While I was cooking dinner, my sister set the table.

5. Although the test was difficult most students passed.
6. Before we leave for vacation we need to pack our bags.
