Connect with Confidence: Basic Conjunctions for Class 1 

This Class 1 worksheet introduces children to basic conjunctions—small but powerful words like “and,” “so,” “but,” and “or” that help join ideas and make sentences clearer. Using simple, everyday examples, young learners discover how conjunctions connect actions, show results, express contrasts, and offer choices in sentences. 

The worksheet provides step-by-step practice through underlining tasks, multiple-choice questions, sentence rewriting, a passage with blanks, and an age-appropriate paragraph prompt. Each exercise gently guides children to choose the correct joining word based on meaning. With clear visuals, short statements, and simple examples, this worksheet helps early writers use conjunctions naturally while improving grammar and sentence flow. 

Why Conjunctions Matter in Grammar? 

Conjunctions support children in building longer, more meaningful sentences. For Class 1 learners, this topic is important because: 
1. They help children combine ideas smoothly. 
2. They allow writers to show contrast or cause-and-effect. 
3. They make choices and actions clearer in writing. 
4. They strengthen sentence structure and future writing confidence.
