SO

I think I need to highlight the Conjunction 'so'. The children have learnt to use the word 'so' to join 2 sentences. For example,

The cat was angry. It scratched the little boy.
The cat was angry so it scratched the little boy.

I know that in some of the dictionaries, the examples they have given for 'so' usually comes with a comma (The cat was angry, so it scratched the little boy). However, in the school, we do not require the children to add a comma before 'so'. Please take note of this point. I have also alerted the children about this.

On the other hand, if the children write a comma before the 'so', we will not penalise them too because it is not wrong.

Should you have any enquries about the Grammar items or the SA1, please feel free to clarify with me. I'll try to answer you as clearly as I can. :)
