When we write, we can join two short sentences together using a connective. Some connectives add information to the first sentence whilst others will disagree. An example is: ‘I like chocolate’ – now I add: ‘but too much is bad for me.’ The word ‘but’ is connecting the two sentences/clauses together and the second sentence disagrees with what I’m doing.

1.
Which of these words is not a connective?
but
yet
although
hands
These connectives would all oppose or disagree with the first part of a sentence.

Which word is not a connective?
whereas
however
she
nevertheless
Again, these are all connectives that disagree with the first part of the sentence.
3.
Which of these words is not a connective or a conjunction?
horse

but
so
Connectives work in the same way as a conjunction. They are words that link two clauses (or sentences) together.

6.
Finish this sentence: They loved math...
yet they all knew their times tables.
yet they all went fishing.
yet none of them knew their times tables.
yet none of them went fishing.
The word 'yet' means 'despite', so here it is saying they loved math but....then something to do with them not liking it - that's why it's an opposing connective.
7.

As you can see, there are many connectives and conjunctions available, so make sure you write two clause sentences with one in!

10.
'It's horrible'/'I'll eat it all.' Which connective/conjunction would you not use to join these two sentences together?
