Connect with Clarity! Using Commas in Clauses for Class 2 

This Class 2 worksheet helps children learn how to use commas correctly when joining clauses with conjunctions such as and, but, and so. Students discover that when two ideas are joined, a comma before the conjunction creates a natural pause and makes the sentence easier to read. 
Through MCQs, True/False questions, comma-insertion practice, rewriting tasks, and a passage-editing activity, learners gradually build confidence in punctuating compound sentences correctly. 

Why Commas in Clauses Matter? 

1. Helps children join ideas smoothly. 
2. Adds natural pauses that make sentences clearer. 
3. Improves writing flow and accuracy. 
4. Builds foundational grammar for higher classes.
