Why Conjunctions Matter in Grammar?

Conjunctions are essential for connecting words, phrases, and ideas in a sentence. For Grade 3 learners, mastering them is important because:

1. It helps join two or more thoughts smoothly for better sentence fluency.

2. It teaches relationships such as contrast (but), cause (because), condition (if), and choice (or).

3. It strengthens comprehension by clarifying how events or actions relate.

4. It enables longer and more cohesive writing through complex sentence construction.
