Q1- Use compound and complex sentences to
show
cause and effect and problem-solution
relationship of ideas.
Module 3- Using compound sentences to show
Good morning dear Grade 5. Today you will
learn how to use compound sentence to
show CAUSE and EFFECT!
Are you ready? Awesome! Let’s begin!
Look at the picture.
What happened to the
girl?
Good guess! The girl
stumbled. Why do you
think she stumbled?
Correct! She stepped
on a stone. Look
at She stumbled. the pi
Look a
The girl stumbled, for she stepped on a stone.
Now, let’s combine these two
sentences together and make
them one. But first we need a
word that would help us combine
Now let’s study
the sentence.
What happened to the girl? The girl
stumbled.
This part of the sentence of the sentence
shows the
EFFECT or the result of something.
Why did she stumble? She stepped on a stone.
This part of the sentence is the CAUSE or the reason why
something happened.
What word was added in between the two clauses? _______
FOR is placed to connect two independent clauses, making them one sentence.
The girl stumbled, for she stepped on a stone.
Well, we successfully made a
single sentence out of the
two simple sentences or
independent clauses.
Do you know that we just
created a COMPOUND
The girl stumbled, for she stepped on a stone.
What
exactly is a
COMPOUND
SENTENCE?
A compound sentence is
made up of two simple
sentence connected by
a coordinating
conjunction. These
conjunction are also
known as FANBOYS.
How are these coordinating conjunctions used.
FOR- means the same as because. It is used to show CAUSE and EFFECT. Just like
the example above, Sam drank some water, for he was thirsty.
AND- is used to add one thing to another. Example: I take milk and sugar in my tea.
Nor- is used to present an alternative negative idea to an already stated negative
idea. Example: Alexa doesn’t like apples, nor does she like pears.
But- means the same as Yet. They both show contrast. Example: Computer games
are fun, but it is addictive. And, Computer games are fun, yet it is addictive.
They have the same meaning.
Or – Presents an alternative or a choice. Example: We could go to a zoo, or we could
go to a theme park.
Yet – has the same use as But.
So – indicates result, effect, or consequence.
Example: She is sick, so she is not going to school.
This particular coordinating conjunction is usually used to express CAUSE and
EFFECT. Along with AND and FOR. Example: It was cold outside, so she put on a
sweater.
Let’s take a closer look at his example.
Sam drank some water is the EFFECT.
He was thirsty is the CAUSE. They
were joined together by the
coordinating conjunction FOR.
comma
Sam drank some water, for he was thirsty.
EFFECT CAUSE
Coordinating conjunction
In forming a compound sentence, put a comma after the last word of
a clause right before the coordinating conjunction.
Here are
another
examples
comma
A girl ate lots of candy, and she got a stomach ache.
CAUSE EFFECT
coordinating conjunction
comma
It was cold outside, so she put on a sweater.
CAUSE EFFECT
coordinating conjunction
Make a compound sentence that shows a cause and effect relationship by
connecting two clauses together with the help of a coordinating conjunction. Draw
a line to connect them as shown in the example.
Independent Clause 1 Coordinating Conjunction Independent Clause 2
Example:
I played out in the rain, and they bear a lots of fruits.
1. The cake did not come
out as expected, for the students listened.
2. Their plants are healthy, so Maria didn’t follow the
recipe correctly.
3. The teacher started to
talk, and I got very ill.
To join simple sentence together, use conjunctions. When using a
coordinating conjunction, do not forget to put a comma after the last
word of the first clause.
Make a compound sentence that shows cause and effect relationship by combining
two sentences into one. Use conjunctions and, for, and, so to fill in the blanks.
1. I can’t get inside _____ I lost my house key.
2. The typhoon brought heavy rain for days _____ the city was blooded.
3. She bakes delicious cakes _____ they are selling like hotcakes.
4. Kevin ate three cups of rice _______ he was starving.
