CONJUNCTIONS

Conjunctions refer to words that join or connect other words,


phrases, or clauses in a single sentence. They allow the flow of
ideas and help form more complex, meaningful statements.
Without conjunctions, our sentences would sound choppy or
incomplete.

For Example:
• “I like to read and write.”
• “She was tired, but she continued working.”

In the above examples, and and but are conjunctions that


connect two different ideas.
TYPES OF CONJUNCTIONS

Conjunctions are divided into


three main categories:

• Coordinating Conjunctions

• Subordinating Conjunctions

• Correlative Conjunctions
CO-ORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS
Coordinating conjunctions are connecting words for words or
independent clauses or phrases of equal importance. The most common
coordinating conjunctions are:
• For And
• Nor But
• Or Yet
We can remember coordinators in this way: FANBOYS-for, and, nor,
but, or, yet, so.
Example:
v “I wanted to go to the park, but it was raining.”
v “She loves pizza, and she also enjoys pasta.”
SUB-ORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS
Subordinating conjunctions, on the other hand, connect an independent
clause to a dependent clause, creating a hierarchy of thought and
meaning between the two parts. Some common subordinating
conjunctions include:
• Although Because Since
• If Unless Before
Example:
v I will go to the party if I finish my homework.
v Although it was late, he decided to stay up.
v She went to bed early because she was tired.
CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTIONS
Correlative conjunctions work together in pairs to connect words
or phrases of equal importance or weight.

• Both…and Either…or
• Neither…nor Not only…but also
• Whether…or

Example:
v Either you can stay home, or you can come with us.
v Both the teacher and the students were excited about the trip.
IMPORTANCE OF CONJUNCTIONS

Conjunctions are essential in English because they:

• Help create cohesion among ideas and thoughts, thus


allowing for a smoother and more coherent syllogism.

• Broaden the variety of sentences by allowing the


combining of simple sentences into one compound one.

• Help in expressing cause, effect, contrast, condition,


and purpose clearly.
CONCLUSION

Conjunctions are essential connectors in English that


help form complex, meaningful, and fluid sentences.
Mastering their use enhances both writing and
speaking, making communication more logical and
effective.
