Conjunctions Worksheets — And, But, So, Because (Grades 2-3)

I wanted to play outside. It rained. Two flat sentences — until one small word joins them: I wanted to play outside, BUT it rained. Conjunctions are how young writers escape choppy sentences, and grades 2-3 is where tests start asking for them. This 6-page print-and-go pack teaches the big four — and, but, so, because — in five steps that move from choosing to combining to writing. Kids pick the joining word that fits each sentence; choose between all four in mixed practice; combine short sentence pairs into one longer sentence; finish the same sentence stem two different ways; then write original sentences with each conjunction. A full answer key is included. Print-ready PDF in both US Letter and A4. For grades 2-3 grammar practice, test prep and homeschool — pairs with our Pronouns and Punctuation packs.
