English: Grammar

Compound and complex

sentences

Kitbull Read written excerpt from Kitbull attached below. Which sentences are compound and which are complex? Remember: COMPOUND SENTENCES Just like a compound word is two complete WORDS put together (e.g. rain + bow = rainbow), compound sentences are two complete SENTENCES put together, but they have FANBOYS between them (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So) Draw a circle around these conjunctions in the excerpt below to show the compound sentences.

English: Reading (Making Connections) Kitbull: Who are my neighbours? Think about how the two neighbours in Kitbull help each other. Where does the word

‘neighbour’ come from?

Research its meaning and write it

down.

We use the word neighbour to refer to many different things– the people who live next door; the people who sit beside you in class; our neighbouring states in Australia and our neighbouring countries. Think about what you learnt in your geography task on Monday about neighbours and our neighbouring countries.

Sport Get outside and enjoy some fresh air and sunlight. You could play a game with a sibling or parent, practise the skills you learned in PE this week, go for a walk, ride a bike or even go for a swim if you’re feeling brave enough! Spelling Post Test: Your parent or someone at home can test you on this week’s spelling words.

COMPLEX SENTENCES Complex sentences are the sentences containing until, as, while, because, etc. Underline these conjunctions in the excerpt below to show complex sentences. Spelling: Practise your words! You might like to use the Look/Say/Cover/Write/Check method.

Brainstorm using dot points, a list of ways that we can be good neighbours in each of these areas;

• House neighbours

• Class/desk neighbours

• Neighbouring states

• Neighbouring countries Spelling: Practise your words! You might like to use the Look/Say/Cover/Write/Check method.
