Conjunctions for Class 7 with Examples and Exercises

Learning conjunctions is an important part of English grammar, especially for class 7 students. Conjunctions help kids connect ideas, build better sentences, and improve both writing and speaking skills.

In this article, we will cover the basics of conjunctions for class 7, types of conjunctions, simple examples, and easy practice exercises. At PlanetSpark, children can also practise grammar in interactive classes that make learning conjunctions fun, engaging, and effective.

What Are Conjunctions for Class 7?

Conjunctions are joining words. They connect two or more words, phrases, clauses, or sentences together. Using conjunctions makes sentences sound natural and fluid. Imagine reading a story where every sentence starts with "I" or "She." It would sound dull and disconnected. Conjunctions solve that problem.

Examples of Conjunctions in Simple Sentences:

• Meeta likes pizza and pastries.
• Is she her friend or not?
• Kavish is playing, but Khushi is studying.
• Everyone hates Priya because she is rude.

In the sentences above, the words and, or, but, because are conjunctions. They join parts of a sentence together. Without them, you would need two or more sentences to say the same thing.

Learning conjunctions helps children:

• Write better essays and stories
• Speak fluently in speeches and conversations
• Avoid repetition in writing
• Build more complex and interesting sentences

Why Are Conjunctions Important?

Conjunctions are important because they:

Make writing smoother: Sentences flow better when ideas are connected properly.

Help in public speaking: Kids sound more confident and organised when they use conjunctions in speeches.

Improve comprehension: Understanding conjunctions helps children read and understand longer sentences easily.

Support creative writing: Whether it’s storytelling or essay writing, conjunctions help kids describe events clearly.

Types of Conjunctions for Class 7

Conjunctions are divided into three main types:

Coordinating Conjunctions

Coordinating conjunctions join words or groups of words of equal importance. They are the most commonly used conjunctions in English.

Common Coordinating Conjunctions:

1. and
2. but
3. or
4. nor
5. for
6. yet
7. so

Examples:

1. He was late for the class, yet the teacher didn’t scold him.
2. Sheena likes singing and dancing.
3. Rahul likes cooking, but Preeti hates it.
4. No one was in Jaipur, so I attended the event alone.

These conjunctions link two complete sentences or phrases with equal weight.

Subordinating Conjunctions

Subordinating conjunctions join a dependent clause to an independent clause. They show a relationship like cause-and-effect, condition, time, or contrast.

Common Subordinating Conjunctions:

1. because
2. although
3. even though
4. since
5. after
6. if
7. unless
8. until
9. while

Examples:

1. I will do the homework after I finish my lunch.
2. If you practise daily, you will improve.
3. Though he’s late to class, he is doing well.
4. Even though she studied hard, she failed the exam.
5. Because it was raining, the match was cancelled.

Subordinating conjunctions help kids add more details to their sentences.

Correlative Conjunctions

Correlative conjunctions work in pairs. They connect words or phrases that have equal importance.

Common Correlative Conjunctions:

1. either...or
2. neither...nor
3. both...and
4. whether...or
5. not only...but also

Examples:

1. Either Riya or Ryan has taken the apple.
2. Priya will neither go to Paris nor to America.
3. Mothers are both loving and caring.
4. She is not only a liar but also a cheater.

Correlative conjunctions are great for advanced sentence construction.

How to Use Conjunctions Properly

Using conjunctions correctly is just as important as knowing what they are. Here are some quick rules and tips:

No Comma for Simple Lists

If you are joining two similar words or phrases, do not use a comma.

Incorrect: She took the utensils and food from the kitchen.
Correct: She took the utensils and food from the kitchen.

Comma for Independent Clauses

If you are joining two independent clauses (complete sentences), use a comma before the conjunction.

Example: She took the utensils from the kitchen, and she brought food from the café.

Dependent Clauses with Subordinating Conjunctions

If the dependent clause comes first, use a comma. If it comes after the main clause, no comma is needed.

Example 1: Because he woke up late, he missed the bus.
Example 2: He missed the bus because he woke up late.
