What is Conjunction ?
1 . CONJUCTIONS JOIN WORDS OR
GROUPS OF WORDS IN A SENTENCE
2 . CONJUNCTIONS ARE WORDS THAT
LINK OTHER WORDS, PHRASES, OR
CLAUSES TOGETHER .
CONJUNCTION
There are three types of conjuction :
1. Coordinating Conjunction
2. Correlative Conjunction
3. Subordinating Conjunction
Coordinating Conjunctions
Coordinating conjunctions allow you to join words,
phrases, and clauses of equal grammatical rank in a
sentence. The most common coordinating conjunctions
are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so; you can remember
them by using the mnemonic device FANBOYS.
For - Explains reason or purpose (just like "because")
And - Adds one thing to another
Nor - Used to present an alternative negative idea to an
already stated negative idea
But - Shows contrast
Or - Presents an alternative or a choice
Yet - Introduces a contrasting idea that follows the
preceding idea logically
So - Indicates effect, result or consequence
Example Coordinating Conjunctions
Coordinating Conjunctions Used in Sentences :
I go to the park every Sunday, for I love to watch
the ducks on the lake.
I watch the ducks on the lake and the shirtless men
playing soccer.
I don't go for the fresh air nor for the ducks; I just
like soccer.
Soccer is entertaining in winter, but it's better in the
heat of summer.
The men play on two teams: shirts or skins.
I always take a book to read, yet I never seem to
Example Coordinating Conjunctions
I’d like pizza or a salad for lunch. We needed a
place to concentrate, so we packed up our things
and went to the library. Jesse didn’t have much
money, but she got by.
Notice the use of the comma when a coordinating
conjunction is joining two independent clauses.
Correlative Conjunctions
Correlative conjuction are tag-team
conjunctions. They come in pairs, and you have to
use both of them in different places in a sentence to
make them work. These conjunctions work together
(co-) and relate one sentence to another. Correlative
conjunctions connect two equal grammatical terms.
So, if a noun follows "both," then a noun should also
follow "and."
Common pairs include
both/and
whether/or
either/or
neither/nor
not/but
not only/but also
Example Correlative Conjunctions
Not only am I finished studying for English, but I’m
also finished writing my history essay. I am finished
with both my English essay and my history essay.
I want either the pink sofa or the purple one.
I'll study both English literature and art history.
I didn't know whether you'd want milk or cream, so I
grabbed both.
Why do you want to
visit neither Ireland nor Scotland?
I took not only the pink sofa but also the Tiffany
lamp.
Subordinating Conjunctions
Subordinating conjunctions join independent
and dependent clauses. A subordinating
conjunction can signal a cause-and-effect
relationship, a contrast, or some other kind of
relationship between the clauses. Common
subordinating conjunctions are because, since, as,
although, though, while, and whereas. Sometimes
an adverb, such as until, after, or before can
function as a conjunction.
Example Subordinating Conjunctions
I can stay out until the clock strikes twelve.
Here, the adverb until functions as a coordinating
conjunction to connect two ideas: I can stay out (the
independent clause) and the clock strikes twelve (the
dependent clause). The independent clause could stand
alone as a sentence; the dependent clause depends on the
independent clause to make sense.
The subordinating conjunction doesn’t need to go in the
middle of the sentence. It has to be part of the dependent
clause, but the dependent clause can come before the
independent clause.
Before he leaves, make sure his room is clean.
If the dependent clause comes first, use a comma before
the independent clause.
Example Subordinating Conjunctions
Because of him, I learned how to start my own
business.
Everything will fall into place if you start at the
beginning,
Until you try, you'll never know.
I add a new entry to my gratitude journal when I
wake in the morning,
As I write this letter, I know I must say goodbye.
Life's been so happy since I moved to Chile.
