Identify conjunctions through grammar exercises
Hope you're doing well! My kid has this homework about identifying conjunctions, and we’re stuck on one of the exercises: "She wanted to go to the park, but it started raining." Could you help us figure it out?

Greetings to you and your family, David!


Conjunctions are words that join words, phrases, or clauses together in a sentence. Conjunctions are frequently used between the things they connect. Sometimes, they can be used at the beginning of sentences, and the first of a pair of correlative conjunctions.


Regarding your kid's homework, let's clarify the usage of the conjunction 'but'. This conjunction connects ideas that contrast. 


Using the sentence in your exercise:

"She wanted to go to the park, but it started raining."


The first clause "She wanted to go to the park " is a contrast to "it started raining". She wanted to go out BUT she can't because of the rain.
