Connectors

Dear children,

Today we learnt about connectors.

1. as, when, while, before, since : are used to express time/sequence

Eg. As Mother prepares the soup, please cut the tomatoes.

2. yet, still, however : are used to show contrast

Eg. He has won the championship. Still, he is not happy.

When we join 2 different ideas using yet or still, we add a comma in front of the connector.

But when we use however to join 2 different ideas , we add a comma before and after the connector.

Thus please try to use connectors in your essay writing.

Thank you.

Lots of love,
Mrs Yang
