  • Otherwise as a conjunctive adverb

    (L540) Sentence Builders: “Otherwise” as a conjunctive adverb

    $5.99 including GST

    “Otherwise” is a weird word! Most of the time, it’s used as an adverb or as an adjective. “Otherwise” is not usually considered to be a conjunction.

    But – at least in Australia and in the United Kingdom – it’s sometimes used to connect independent clauses in a single sentence. When used this way, “otherwise” acts like a conjunctive adverb: a type of adverb that links independent clauses together.

    This 34-page no-prep resource is designed to provide students with lots of models of “otherwise” sentences (41 scaffolded examples), which they can practice, e.g. by imitating an adult, reading aloud, and/or writing down (e.g. in dictation practice).

    Once students have the hang of how to use “otherwise”, they can move on to the more advanced 20 sentence-completion and 19 sentence generation exercises included in the resource.
