$SESSION 5-1: Joining Sentences and Reporting Speech

# Source: ST §So, But, And, Or
$PRODUCE So, But, And, Or
ID: l5-s1
INTRO: This lesson is pure review — no new material, just everything from this book one more time: joining sentences, reporting what people said, "if" sentences, comparisons, and the words you've learned. First up: read the two sentences, then say them as one sentence joined with "or", "and", "but", or "so".
INSTRUCTION: Say the two sentences as one, using "or", "and", "but", or "so".
INPUT: speak
CHECK: llm
RUBRIC: The conjunction is the point: accept any single combined sentence that keeps both facts and uses a conjunction that fits the logic — "or" for a choice, "but" for a contrast, "so" for a result, "and" for an addition. Minor rewording is fine; a conjunction that doesn't fit the logic fails.

TEMPLATE: Mark could charge the shirt. He could pay cash for it.
RESPONSE: Mark could charge the shirt, or he could pay cash for it.

TEMPLATE: Helen wanted to visit her family. She had to leave before she could see them.
RESPONSE: Helen wanted to visit her family, but she had to leave before she could see them.

TEMPLATE: Kathy wanted to get her bachelor's degree. She went back to college.

INSTRUCTION: Listen, then report what the speaker said.
INPUT: speak
CHECK: llm
RUBRIC: Accept reported speech in either present or past tense (e.g. "Ben said that they have a two-car garage" or "Ben said that they had a two-car garage"). Pronouns must shift correctly (I → he, my → his, we → they). Minor rewording of the reported clause is fine.
