together. I like to sing and dance.
Or is a conjunction. The

A comma is usually put before a conjunction when we connect two
sentences. The comma and conjunction say: these two thoughts
could be sentences by themselves, but I put them into one
sentence.

so, because, and but.
Directions: Put the correct conjunction in
each sentence.
