Join sentences with simple conjunctions

TITLE
JOINING SENTENCES WITH CONJUNCTIONS

Conjunctions are words that connect sentences or parts of sentences. They help us make our writing and speaking smoother. Some common conjunctions are and, but, and or. For example, you can say, "I want to play outside and ride my bike." This means you want to do both activities. Sometimes, we use but to show a contrast, like, "I want ice cream but I am too full." This tells us you want ice cream, but you cannot have it. We can also use or to give choices, such as "Would you like pizza or pasta?" Here, you are asking someone to choose between two foods. Remember, conjunctions make your sentences more interesting!

TRANSLATION
KẾT NỐI CÂU VỚI CÁC LIÊN TỪ

Liên từ là những từ kết nối các câu hoặc các phần của câu. Chúng giúp cho việc viết và nói của chúng ta mượt mà hơn. Một số liên từ phổ biến là "và," "nhưng," và "hoặc." Ví dụ, bạn có thể nói, "Tôi muốn chơi ngoài trời và đạp xe." Điều này có nghĩa là bạn muốn làm cả hai hoạt động. Đôi khi, chúng ta sử dụng "nhưng" để thể hiện sự tương phản, như, "Tôi muốn kem nhưng tôi quá no." Điều này cho thấy bạn muốn kem, nhưng bạn không thể ăn. Chúng ta cũng có thể sử dụng "hoặc" để đưa ra lựa chọn, chẳng hạn như "Bạn có muốn pizza hay mì không?" Ở đây, bạn đang hỏi ai đó chọn giữa hai món ăn. Hãy nhớ rằng, các liên từ làm cho câu của bạn thú vị hơn!
