Minchanka [31]

Please help me with this. (Subordinating Conjunction)
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Please check my work. This all seems right to me, but I'd check it anyways. I really hope this helps! I put the words in quotes to find them easier.

Explanation:

My uncle told me he had a surprise! It will be

revealed "as soon as" 1 pm.

"Once" I heard about the surprise, I jumped out of bed and got ready for the day.

"Since" I was busy getting ready, I tried to keep guessing what the surprise could be!

We immediately got into the car so we could

arrive at the surprise on time.

We left to drive to the surprise "even though"

we were all packed into the car.

I keep trying to make guesses of what the surprize could be "till" we arrived. Just as we pullout into a large parking lot, I saw a big train! I asked my uncle if we were going on a train ride "Though" he was parking his car "Whereas" he could say anything else. I knew that the surprise was a nice in a cool train. I heard a conductor blow his whistle and holler. "All aboard!" We ran to make sure we hopped onto the train

before it left "Although" we did not have running shoes on. We had a wonderful time and meet many fun people.​
