Join Ideas Smoothly: Combining Sentences for Class 5 

This Class 5 grammar worksheet on Combining Sentences teaches children how to join short, repetitive, or choppy sentences into smoother, clearer ones. Using real examples from pages 3–8 of the worksheet, students practice using conjunctions like and, but, so, because, and then to create meaningful, well-connected sentences.

The worksheet begins with joining-word fill-in-the-blanks (page 3), followed by multiple-choice items (pages 4–5) where children choose the correctly combined sentence. Sentence rewriting tasks on pages 6–7 help them apply what they’ve learned to fix broken sentences such as “Anya jumped she laughed.” The descriptive passage on page 8 uses context clues—breeze, dry leaf, smooth pen, tiny pebbles, long shadows, soft mats, and sharp whistle—to help learners understand how combined sentences naturally improve flow.

This worksheet builds confidence in forming longer, meaningful thoughts and strengthens both grammar and written expression.

Why Combining Sentences Matters in Grammar? 

This skill is valuable for Class 5 learners because: 
1. It prevents repetitive, choppy writing. 
2. It improves clarity by linking related ideas correctly. 
3. It strengthens narrative and descriptive writing. 
4. It teaches children to use conjunctions with purpose.
