Ang sugnay ay lipon ng mga salitang may simuno at panaguri ngunit bahagi lamang ng pangungusap.
May dalawang uri ng sugnay:
- Ang sugnay na makapag-iisa ay bahagi ng pangnungusap na may buong diwa kahit ihiwalay sa pangungusap.
- Ang sugnay na di-makapag-iisa naman ay hindi nagbibigay ng pinangungunahan ng pangatnig gaya ng ngunit, samantalang, kung, para, habang.
Halimbawa:
- Ang kalinisan sa kapaligiran ay dapat na panatilihin
- Sugnay na di-makapag-iisa
- nang maging malusog ang bayan natin.

Ang parirala ay lipon ng mga salitang walang simuno at panaguri. Wala itong buong diwa.

The son brought home a hamster yesterday. It’s not his. It belongs to a classmate who brought it for the Science Week but forgot to bring it home last Thursday.
Friday was a holiday and they didn’t have school.
Saturday was rehearsal day for the Dramatics Club where the son is a member. He was the one brought home the hamster because he was a classmate of the owner.
We went to the supermarket to look for hamster food. We found none save for plastic containers of rabbit food. I have to say “no” because if he brings back the hamster and we still have heaps of rabbit food, the kids might ask for a hamster or a rabbit. Which I have to say “no” to again and they will feel sad.

We gave the hamster apple slices and it nibbled on the slices in no time. He was busy going round and round the wheel last night and was fast asleep in the morning.
Anyway…
Tomorrow, he will bring back the hamster and give it back to the owner.

For the children’s university week, celebrated every February, the grade four field demonstration was Sayaw sa Bangko.

Sayaw sa Bangko or Sayaw ed Tapew ng Bangko is a folk dance from Pangasinan, a province from the northern Philippines. Performers dance on wooden benches, changing places with each other and at times jumping on and off the bench.
The son is wearing shoes, the pair of slippers which was prepared earlier was forgotten,
Balance and helping each other to stay on the bench is important for the two dancers on the bench.

My Boy Scout is going camping today. The scouts will have an over night camping. I’ve already prepped the things he will bring and hubby was shocked to see how much food I prepared: several brick boxes of milk, water bottles, bananas, a small loaf of bread, cookies, biscuits and even a can of pork and beans.
I also put several clothes to last him several days.
He is bringing a tent and a sleeping bag. His contribution to the group are several bags of charcoal for cooking.
I wanted to bring him to his pulmonologist first before the camping but we didn’t have time to visit the doctor. I hope he won’t have an asthma attack though he brought his inhaler with him, as he always does.
