Task 3: STORY TIME!

Read the selection and notice the broad and italicized words in every sentence.

The Filipinos
Filipinos are by nature patient, persevering, and hardworking.
These traits can be observed in most people in the rural areas. Many of
them are farmers, fishermen and herdsmen and in their homes,
housewives engage in home industries. Some are mat weavers, pot
makers and food preservers because most of them make use of what’s
available in their locality.
Many Filipinos have adapted well to the advancement of technology
so most workers also start using modern equipment in their work. One
may adapt to the advancement of technology but we should not also forget
our traditional way of doing things.

In the urban areas, we’ve observed that a postman, fireman,

policeman, newspaper boy, market vendor, and others also possess the
characteristic of an admirable Filipino.

Let’s try to answer the following questions:

(Note: Do this activity orally with your learning facilitator/guardian.)

1. What is the selection all about?

2. What are the traits of an admirable Filipino?
3. Is technology a big help to our society especially in the field of works
mentioned in the selection? Why? Why not?
4. If you were one of the workers in the selection which one would you choose,
the use of technology or the traditional way of doing your work? Why?
5. Give the italicized words mentioned in the selection.

 WHAT IS IT

Read and notice the following words found in the selection:

and because so but

What do we call them?

And, because, so and but are examples of conjunctions.

What are conjunctions?

Conjunctions are words that link or connect other words, phrases, or

clauses together. They enrich our writing and allow us to bring many ideas
together.

For example:

Instead of saying:

“It is raining. We have no choice. We cannot walk to

the park. We also cannot bike to the park.”

We say:

“Because it is raining, we can neither walk nor bike to the

park.”

Conjunctions help us say more in fewer words.

For example:

Instead of saying:

“This morning I brushed my teeth. After that, I drank

coffee. After my coffee, I made a sandwich. After all of that,
I watched TV.”

We say:

“This morning, I brushed my teeth, drank coffee, made a

sandwich, and watched TV.

3 NegOr_Q4_English6_Module1.2_v2
 Conjunctions serve as linking words. We use them in writing because they
make our sentences more interesting and allow us to provide a greater amount
of information in the same sentence. In short, conjunctions make our sentences
and paragraphs more pleasant to read.

In this learning module we will focus on coordinating and subordinating

conjunctions.

*LET’S REMEMBER!

A. Coordinating Conjunctions - connect or join two or more sentences, main

clauses, words, or other parts of speech of equal rank.

It is easier to remember the coordinating conjunctions, if you think of the

word FANBOYS.

For presents a reason

And present non-contrasting ideas
Nor present non-contrasting negative ideas
(usually paired with neither)
But presents contrast or exceptions
Or presents an alternative item or idea
Yet presents a contrast or exception
So presents a consequence

4 NegOr_Q4_English6_Module1.2_v2
Here are the guidelines for using coordinating conjunctions:
1. A comma is placed before the coordinate conjunction when the
conjunction connects two independent clauses. A clause consists of a
subject and a predicate.

Example:
• Mom uses cloth towels, so she washes them often.
• Disposable utensils are handy, yet we do avoid using them.

2. A comma is not used when using a coordinate conjunction to connect

two objects. However, if more than two objects are connected, a
comma is placed before the coordinating conjunction.

Example:
• I use soap or detergent for laundry.
• We must avoid disposable cups, plates, or cutlery.

B. Subordinating Conjunctions – are words or phrases that are used to connect

a dependent clause to the main clause or independent clause. This provides
necessary transition between two ideas in a sentence. This transition signals
time, place, condition, reason, comparison or cause-effect relationship.

Below is a list of common subordinating conjunctions:

5 NegOr_Q4_English6_Module1.2_v2
The subordinating conjunctions have the following uses:
1. To express reason: as, because, in order that, since, so that

Example:

• The streets are flooded because it rained hard for two hours.
• Open the window so that you can have fresh air.

2. To show concession and comparison: although, as, even though, just

as, though, whereas, while
Example:
• Open the windows though it is raining.
• Keep the windows open while the sun is hot.

3. To express condition: even if, if, in case, provided that, unless

Example:
• Keep the windows open even if it rains.
• Keep the windows open provided that the rain doesn’t enter the
room.

4. To denote time: after, as soon as, as long as, before, once till, until,
when, whenever, while

Example:
• Keep windows open as long as the sun shines.
• Close the windows before the night creeps in.

5. To denote place: where, wherever

Ex:
• I sit where there is fresh air.
• I will go wherever the weather is fine.
