Conjunction: Conjunctions are words used to connect words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence.

They
help establish relationships between different elements, providing coherence and clarity in
communication. There are three main types of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions, subordinating
conjunctions, and correlative conjunctions.

1. Coordinating Conjunctions: These connect words, phrases, or independent clauses of equal


importance.

- Examples: “and,” “but,” “or,” “so,” “for,” “nor,” “yet”

- Example sentences:

- She likes to read novels, and he prefers watching movies.

- I wanted to go to the party, but i had to finish my assignment.

- You can choose tea or coffee for your beverage.

- He studied hard, so he scored well on the exam.

2. Subordinating Conjunctions: These connect an independent clause with a dependent (subordinate)


clause, showing a relationship of dependence.

- Examples: “because,” “although,” “while,” “since,” “if,” “unless,” “when,” “after”

- Example sentences:

- Because it was raining, we stayed indoors.

- She went to the gym although she was feeling tired.

- If you finish your work early, you can join us for a movie.

- I’ll call you when I reach the airport.

3. Correlative Conjunctions: These work in pairs to connect words or groups of words with similar
grammatical structure.

- Examples: “both…and,” “either…or,” “neither…nor,” “not only…but also”

- Example sentences:

- Both the cat and the dog are friendly.

- You can choose either the chocolate cake or the vanilla cake.

- Neither John nor Mary attended the meeting.

- Not only is she talented, but also she is hardworking.

Conjunctions play a crucial role in making sentences more coherent by indicating how the different parts
of the sentence are related to each other.
