Kavi's Joining Words
Kavi has three glue words that stick two ideas together. "I use and to add one idea to another — I hop and I skip. I use but to show a difference — I am small but I am strong. And I use because to give a reason — I am happy because it is sunny. The right glue makes one big, smooth sentence!"
