About this worksheet

A conjunction joins words or parts of a sentence, as in 'and', 'but', 'so', 'because' or 'when', and an interjection is a word that shows a quick feeling, as in 'Wow! ', 'Ouch! ' or 'Hooray! '. The sheets for this topic take turns: versions 1, 3 and 5 ask the child to write the conjunction in each of twelve sentences, and versions 2, 4 and 6 ask the child to write the interjection in each of twelve.

Keeping one of the two on a sheet means the child always knows what to look for. Each version has different sentences, and the answer key gives every word.

What your child will learn

  • Find a conjunction
  • Tell and, but, or, so and yet from because, when and although
  • Find an interjection
  • Read an exclamation mark as a feeling

Common Core standard: L.5.1.A

Worked example

In 'We stayed inside because it was raining' the conjunction is because. In 'Ouch! I stubbed my toe.' the interjection is Ouch.

Common mistake

Writing the whole clause (because it was raining) instead of just the conjunction word.

Helpful hint

A conjunction joins two parts. An interjection stands alone at the start and shows a feeling.
