Basic Grammar: Coordinate Conjunctions

http://www.mindbites.com/lesson/2880

"A co-ordinate conjunction is a word or group of words that joins parts of speech used in the same way."

Marie imparts the definition of a co-ordinate conjunction, its applications, and a list of the co-ordinate conjunctions most frequently used.

When the in-coming tide threatens to leave her stranded, she suggests we move over to a large rock pool. "Let's explore the rock pool for examples." The rock pool hosts oysters, mussels, abalone, barnacles, scallops, clams, limpets, seaweed, rock crabs, spider crabs, hermit crabs, bullheads, starfish, jellyfish, sea anemones and sea urchins, all of which Marie incorporates into her sample sentences demonstrating the uses of co-ordinate conjunctions.

Workbook exercises and answer key are provided with this lesson.
