Common Core Standards
Grade 5
Language L.5.1.A
Explain the function of conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections in general and their function in particular sentences.
Conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections aren't exactly the hippest parts of speech in the world (that honor goes to the sultry gerund, baby) but they make the world go 'round. This standard ensures that your students have basic understanding of the concepts behind them, as well as how to actually use them in sentences.
