<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cConjunction Junction\u2014what\u2019s your function?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Did you start to sing along? Can you picture the images?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n How old are you????? Lol<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most kids today are not raised on \u201cSchool House Rock,\u201d which is such a shame! Because you really can\u2019t forget the songs, jingles, rhymes\u2014and dare I say\u2014rules learned from those little ditties. (You can still find them on YouTube!)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And those little ditties are really needed when it comes to commas! Commas are a mystery to many people\u2013and rightly so! They are extremely subjective at times across the board. And then, different handbooks and authorities stress different rules for them, making them even more elusive.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Today I would like to give you a little lesson on creating a compound sentence (two sentences joined together as one) using a comma-coordinating conjunction between the two sentences.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Download this Tricky Trick sheet for your student(s) here!<\/a><\/p>\n
