English: Using because, that, when and if Today we are going to use the skills that we have been practising over the last two days! On the next page is a picture. I want you to use the picture to write me a story. The challenge is to try and use each of the subordinating conjunctions that we have worked on (when, if, because, that) at least once in the story. If you send me your stories there will be a dojo for each time you have successfully used those subordinating conjunctions. There are double dojos for anyone who can use any of the other subordinating conjunctions - but I’m not going to tell you what they are!

Manny is not correct because the sentence does not start with “What” or “How” and does not end with an exclamation mark.
