Connect the Dots: Subordinating Conjunctions for Class 4 

This Grade 4 worksheet introduces young learners to subordinating conjunctions such as *because*, *if*, *when*, and *although* through visual examples, fill-in-the-blanks, matching, MCQs, and sentence joining exercises.

1. Link ideas logically in speech and writing. 
2. Add depth and detail to their sentences. 
3. Understand time, reason, contrast, and condition clearly. 
4. Build fluency in both reading comprehension and written expression.
