Parts of Speech - Conjunctions


• Almost all words have a “part of speech”. Which part of speech a word has depends on
how it is used in a sentence. Here is a list of the eight parts of speech:

Noun Verb Adjective Adverb Conjunction Preposition Pronoun Interjection

Conjunction: A conjunction is a word or phrase that shows the relationship between two
words, phrases, or clauses of equal rank. The relationship may give information about
time, reason, agreement/disagreement, or order of events.

Example: I will buy milk and eggs.


In this example, the word “and” is a conjunction because it is used to show the relationship
between the words “milk” and “eggs”.

Example: We want to go to the movie, but we don’t have enough money.


In this example, the word “but” is a conjunction because it is used to show the
relationship between the words “We want to go to the movie” and “we don’t have enough
money”.

Example: You must study hard in order to pass the exam.


In this example, the words “in order to” are a conjunction because they are used to show the
relationship between the words “You must study hard” and “pass the exam”.
