Question

Read the following aloud and note the highlighted words. They are conjunctions.

"I am terribly afraid of falling, myself," said the Cowardly Lion, "but I suppose there is nothing to do but try it. So get on my back and we will make the attempt."

The Scarecrow sat upon the Lion’s back, and the big beast walked to the edge of the gulf and crouched down.

"Why don’t you run and jump?" asked the Scarecrow.

"Because that isn’t the way we Lions do these things," he replied. Then giving a great spring, he shot through the air and landed safely on the other side.
