Make It Clear: Subordinating Conjunctions for Class 5
This engaging Class 5 worksheet helps learners master subordinating conjunctions—words that join a dependent clause to a main clause. With matching tasks, creative writing, puzzles, and grammar checks, this worksheet builds sentence fluency and structure confidence.
Why Subordinating Conjunctions Matter in Grammar?
These conjunctions help learners:
Show cause, condition, contrast, or time in sentences.
Join ideas without losing clarity or meaning.
Improve storytelling and formal writing structure.
Avoid run-on sentences and incomplete thoughts.

🔗 Exercise 1 – Match the Sentence Halves
Students match clauses from two columns using subordinating conjunctions like because, although, and since (e.g., The ground was wet – because it had rained overnight).
🧠 Exercise 2 – True or False: Conditional Sentences
Each sentence must be marked “T” if it expresses a condition (If you finish your homework, you can watch TV), or “F” if it does not.
📝 Exercise 3 – Underline the Conjunctions
Students read a short paragraph and underline subordinating conjunctions such as if, because, while, although, and as long as.
🧩 Exercise 4 – Crossword Puzzle
