Joining Words with 'And' means using and to link words or clauses into a longer sentence—cats and dogs, or The cat naps and the dog runs. We will join words, join clauses, then check a fresh sentence.
Spend about 10 minutes joining words and clauses with and to build longer spoken and written sentences, then checking one new join.
