Conjunction Types Practice Set for Grade 5
A reference guide and practice set for 5th graders that distinguishes coordinating, correlative, and subordinating conjunctions, with the FANBOYS acronym and example sentences to anchor each type. It builds grammar and sentence-combining skills through identification and sentence-writing practice, and is well suited to a 30-45 minute grammar block or independent practice.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a mini-lesson followed by independent practice: read the "Jobs of Conjunctions" section aloud, then have students sort example sentences by conjunction type.
- Discussion question: How is a coordinating conjunction like "but" different from a correlative pair like "either...or"? Why does the pair have to stay together?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide a FANBOYS anchor chart and have them underline the conjunction in each sentence before labeling its type.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write a paragraph using at least one of each conjunction type and explain why each was chosen.
- Estimated time: about 35-45 minutes including the guide reading and practice items.
