Conjunction Rules, Definitions, and Examples for Children’s Homework
Hi), Dany is having trouble with conjunctions. He is confused about how to use "but" and "so" correctly. For instance, should he write "I wanted ice cream but it was closed" or "I wanted ice cream so it was closed"? Thanks for any guidance!

Hello! 

"But": Used to introduce a contrast or contradiction. Example: "I wanted to go for a walk, but it started raining."

"So": Used to indicate a result or consequence. Example: "It was raining, so I stayed indoors."


For the given sentence, the correct sentence is: "I wanted ice cream, but it was closed."

  • "But" is used here to show a contrast between your desire for ice cream and the fact that the place was closed.
