Link It Right: Types of Conjunctions for Class 7

This worksheet equips Class 7 learners with the skills to confidently use coordinating, subordinating, and correlative conjunctions. With structured tasks and sentence-based activities, students learn to connect ideas smoothly and correctly across various writing contexts.

Why Conjunctions Matter in Grammar?

Conjunctions link thoughts, actions, and ideas. For Class 7 learners, mastering them is vital because:
1. They improve sentence fluency and logical flow.
2. They support the structure of compound and complex sentences.
3. They aid in narrative, descriptive, and argumentative writing.
4. They are essential for editing, transformation, and comprehension exercises.

🧩 Exercise 5 – Merge Sentences with Conjunctions
