2. What Are Conjunctions?
Conjunctions Join Ideas
A conjunction is a word that links
two parts of a sentence. It helps us
connect ideas to make longer,
clearer sentences.

3. “Because”
Because Shows the Reason
We use because to tell why
something happens. It gives the
reason for an action.
Example: I took my umbrella because it was raining.

4. More Examples of “Because”
Because = Why it Happened
She is happy because she got a gift.
We stayed inside because it was too hot.
He is late because the bus broke down.

5. “So”
So Shows the Result
We use so to tell what happens as
a result of something.
Example: It was raining, so I took my umbrella.

6. More Examples of “So”
So = What Happened Next
She got a gift, so she is happy.
It was too hot, so we stayed inside.
The bus broke down, so he was late.

7. Compare “Because” and “So”
Reason vs. Result
Because tells us the reason. (Why?)
So tells us the result. (What happened?)
I was hungry because I skipped lunch.
I skipped lunch, so I was hungry.

8. Let’s Make Sentences Together
Your Turn!
Think of a reason and a result. Make one
sentence with because and one with so.
Example:
• I wore a jacket because it was cold.
• It was cold, so I wore a jacket.
