Given this weeks focus on conjunctions, and especially subordinating conjunctions, now seems like a particularly good time to publish this worksheet on the grammatical concept of subordination. This is a half-page worksheet with a two-sentence reading and three comprehension questions.
Nota bene, please, that the second sentence, in two parts separated by a colon, contains an example of sentence that contains a subordinate clause. This might confuse emergent readers; that said, it’s a well constructed sentence. When I consider the meaning the sentence tries to convey, I’m not sure what I would do to change it.
So if you come up with something interesting, I would appreciate hearing about it.
If you find typos in this document, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
