Why Conjunctions Matter in Grammar?  

Conjunctions are essential connectors in English. They help students:
1. Join ideas smoothly across and within sentences.
2. Understand subtle shifts in meaning based on conjunction type.
3. Write logically flowing paragraphs and essays.

What’s Inside This Worksheet?

🛠️ Exercise 3 – Identify and Classify  
Learners underline the conjunction and write its type. Example: “He is *neither* tall *nor* short.” — Correlative

📝 Exercise 4 – Build Your Own Sentences
