Friday 19th June 2020 – Grammar Task

Today’s grammar is based on our Geography topic of rivers and using conjunctions correctly. The conjunctions you will need to add are below the text. Read the text carefully to ensure the conjunctions make sense.

Rivers
Rivers can only start their journey __________________ rain or snow falls in the hills or mountains. The rivers always flow downhill __________________ gravity and over time they will create valleys __________ they are strong enough to erode the rock. Some rivers flow into a lake, __________ others will flow into the sea. Stones and soil can be carried by the rivers _______________ their journey to the sea or lake. The River Severn bust its banks __________________ further rain pushed the water levels high _________ water had nowhere else to go but on land. New devices have been placed in rivers to catch rubbish ______________ it reaches the sea. A river ___________________ is a very important part of the water cycle.

When, therefore, before, because of, if, while, during, so, after, if

Challenge: Now use these same conjunctions to create your own sentences on whatever you wish. Just make sure they make sense in you sentence.

Have a lovely weekend.

    Rivers can only start their journey “when” rain or snow falls in the hills or mountains.

    The rivers always flow downhill “because of” gravity and over time they will create valleys “so” they are strong enough to erode the rock.

    Some rivers flow into a lake, “while” others will flow into the sea.

    Stones and soil can be carried by the rivers “during” their journey to the sea or lake.

    The River Severn bust its banks “after” further rain pushed the water levels high “so” water had nowhere else to go but on land.

    New devices have been placed in rivers to catch rubbish “before” it reaches the sea.

    A river “therefore” is a very important part of the water cycle.

    Rivers can only start their journey WHEN rain or snow falls in the hills or mountains. The rivers always flow downhill BECAUSE OF gravity and over time they will create valleys IF they are strong enough to erode the rock. Some rivers flow into a lake, WHILE others will flow into the sea. Stones and soil can be carried by the rivers DURING their journey to the sea or lake. The River Severn bust its banks AFTER further rain pushes the water levels high SO water had nowhere else to go but on land. New devices have been placed in rivers to catch rubbish BEFORE it reaches the sea. A river THEREFORE is a very important part of the water cycle.

    Dinosaur age started around 250 million years ago THEREFORE they have been around way longer than humans. Ankylosaurus had a club so powerful that it can break any bone but BECAUSE OF its weak underbelly it is easy prey for the T. Rex. BEFORE the dinosaur age there were plants, water (rivers, lakes and oceans) plus slowly developing animals such as the reptiles that were adapting life on land. WHILE dinosaurs were living peacefully some dinosaurs had learnt to fly. DURING the end of the dinosaurs age a meteorite struck earth destroying most life. AFTER the meteorite hit plants started growing again and because the dinosaurs reign had ended the mammals took over but they were not like todays mammals. IF the dinosaurs were still alive humans won’t exist at all.
