RECAP:
A clause is a group of words that contain a subject (the noun or pronoun about which something is being said, usually the doer of the action) and a verb (a doing word).
I like sweets and I like chocolate.
This is a compound sentence: it is made up of two main clauses: 'I like bananas' and 'I like grapes'. The two main clauses are joined by the conjunction 'and'.
Here are some clauses with conjunctions. Can you add in a second clause to make these sentences compound?
1. I really need to go to work, but ______________.
2. He ran out of money, so __________________.
3. Gill loves to eat cheese and __________________.

LC: To use dictionaries to check meanings of words.
A dictionary is a list of words or phrases and their definitions (what they mean).
Dictionaries are arranged in alphabetical order.
They help you to spell or understand any new words, so are a fantastic tool to use to improve your English skills.
In an English dictionary you'll find words beginning with 'a' at the front and 'z' at the back.
There are lots of words in the English language which begin with 'a' so it's not just the first letter that is important.
Words are organised alphabetically according to the following letters in a word too.
Activity
Can you find the below words in the dictionary?
Read the definitions.
Remember to find the first letter and then the second letter in the word.
nutritious
