Q1- Use compound and complex sentences to show

cause and effect and problem-solution

relationship of ideas.
Module 3- Using compound sentences to show
cause and effect.
 
 
Good morning dear Grade 5.
Today you will learn how to
use compound sentence to
show CAUSE and EFFECT!
 
Are you ready? Awesome!
Let’s begin!
 
Look at the picture.
What happened to
the girl?
Good guess! The girl
stumbled. Why do
you think she
stumbled?
Correct! She stepped
on a stone.
She stumbled.
 Now, let’s combine these
two sentences together
and make them one. But
first we need a word that
would help us combine
these two sentences.
Let’s use the word FOR.

The girl stumbled, for she stepped on a stone.

 Now let’s
study the
sentence.

What happened to the girl? The girl stumbled.

This part of the sentence of the sentence shows the
EFFECT or the result of something.
Why did she stumble? She stepped on a stone.
This part of the sentence is the CAUSE or the reason why
something happened.
What word was added in between the two clauses? _______

FOR is placed to connect two independent clauses, making them one sentence.
The girl stumbled, for she stepped on a stone.
 
 Well, we successfully
made a single sentence
out of the two simple
sentences or
independent clauses.
 

Do you know that we

just created a
COMPOUND
SENTENCE? Yes! Below
is an example of a
compound sentence.

The girl stumbled, for she stepped on a stone.

A compound sentence is What exactly
made up of two simple is a
sentence connected by a COMPOUND
SENTENCE?
coordinating conjunction.
These conjunction are
also known as FANBOYS.
How are these coordinating conjunctions used.
FOR- means the same as because. It is used to show CAUSE and EFFECT. Just like
the example above, Sam drank some water, for he was thirsty.
AND- is used to add one thing to another. Example: I take milk and sugar in my tea.
Nor- is used to present an alternative negative idea to an already stated negative
idea. Example: Alexa doesn’t like apples, nor does she like pears.
But- means the same as Yet. They both show contrast. Example: Computer games
are fun, but it is addictive. And, Computer games are fun, yet it is addictive.
They have the same meaning.

Or – Presents an alternative or a choice. Example: We could go to a zoo, or we could

go to a theme park.

 Yet – has the same use as But.

So – indicates result, effect, or consequence.

Example: She is sick, so she is not going to school.

This particular coordinating conjunction is usually used to express CAUSE and

EFFECT. Along with AND and FOR. Example: It was cold outside, so she put on a
sweater.
 Let’s take a closer look at his example.
Sam drank some water is the EFFECT.
He was thirsty is the CAUSE. They
were joined together by the
coordinating conjunction FOR.
 
 

Sam drank some water, for he was thirsty.

EFFECT CAUSE
Coordinating conjunction

In forming a compound sentence, put a comma after the last

word of a clause right before the coordinating conjunction.
 Here are
another
examples.

A girl ate lots of candy, and she got a stomach ache.

CAUSE EFFECT

coordinating conjunction

It was cold outside, so she put on a sweater.

CAUSE EFFECT

coordinating conjunction
Make a compound sentence that shows a cause and effect relationship by connecting
two clauses together with the help of a coordinating conjunction. Draw a line to
connect them as shown in the example.
 
Independent Clause 1 Coordinating Conjunction Independent Clause 2
Example:
I played out in the rain, and they bear a lots of fruits.
1. The cake did not come
out as expected, for the students listened.
2. Their plants are healthy, so Maria didn’t follow the
recipe correctly.
3. The teacher started to
talk, and I got very ill.
 
To join simple sentence together, use conjunctions. When using
a coordinating conjunction, do not forget to put a comma after
the last word of the first clause.
Make a compound sentence that shows cause and effect
relationship by combining two sentences into one. Use conjunctions
and, for, and, so to fill in the blanks.

1. I can’t get inside _____ I lost my house key.

2. The typhoon brought heavy rain for days _____ the city was
blooded.
3. She bakes delicious cakes _____ they are selling like hotcakes.
4. Kevin ate three cups of rice _______ he was starving.
5. I forgot to bring lunch ______ I had to buy food in the
cafeteria.
