    Default My child needs help labeling a sentence

    She came home with a worksheet and the instructions were to label the conjunctions. I'm not sure what conjunctions are so if someone could help that would be nice.


    As he searches all around for the colorful glass,the old man sometimes thinks of his one true love and becomes sad. She was lovely and the one person who understood him best of all; consequently, he feels lonely without her. Yet, if he simply concentrates on looking for the beautiful glass and thinks about the way it sparkles in the bright sun, he becomes happy again, for she loved the sea glass.

    Thank you

    NOT A TEACHER


    (1) The editor has given you an excellent link.

    (2) May I most respectfully remind you of a mnemonic that some of us ordinary

    speakers use in order to remember some important conjunctions: FANBOY:

    F = for

    A = and

    N = nor

    B = but

    O = or

    Y = yet
