    COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS

    In Context

    WITHOUT COORDINATORS
    Fans love to watch Anna. She dances beautifully. She is a graceful
    dancer. People enjoy watching her. She hasn't taken dance lessons. She
    doesn't need to. Her technique is unconventional. The effect is striking.
    She can fill an audience with joy. She can bring people to tears. Other
    dancers try to imitate her style. They have not succeeded. She is
    talented. She will attract fans for many years to come.

    WITH COORDINATORS
    Fans love to watch Anna, for she dances beautifully. She performs with a fan, and people enjoy
    watching her. She hasn't taken dance lessons, nor does she need to. Her technique is
    unconventional, but the effect is striking. She can fill an audience with joy, or she can bring people
    to tears. Other dancers try to imitate her style, yet they have not succeeded. She is talented,
    so she will attract fans for many years to come.

    PRACTICE

    When you write, your writing is more interesting if you can vary sentence structures. One
    way to vary sentence structures is to combine thoughts using complex sentences. A complex
    sentence has one complete sentence, or independent clause, and one dependent clause, which has
    a subject and a verb but doesnt express a complete thought. To understand the dependent clause,
    you need the information in the independent clause.

    Combine the short sentences by using the subordinating conjunction provided to create a complex
    sentence.
