LC: Compose complex sentences using the conjunction 'although'.

Although is a conjunction which is used in sentences to make the main clause sound surprising!

For example:

Although the sun was shining, it wasn't very warm.

Although I was wearing 3 layers, I was still cold.

Although I arrived early, the school was closed.

Now lets try and swap although to come after the comma:

It wasn't very warm, although the sun was shining.

Does the sentence still make sense?

Can you swap the clauses for the other 2 sentences above?

LC: To read, analyse and evaluate texts looking at language, structure and presentation.
