Grammar 24 - Connectors - Presenting a Different Idea
In the previous High English quiz we looked at connectors that add information. In this quiz we take a look at connectors that present a different idea.
Often we have to contend with choices. We could be teachers in a school handling 30 students, each one different from another. We could be parents of three or four children. We know how unique each child is. For instance, one child likes history and another child excels in science. One child likes a blue frock and the other child likes a yellow dress. In real life, we find situations where we have to discern between these choices. Let us take some examples to illustrate the point:
‘Ayesha likes music classes.’ and ‘Joseph likes reading.’
