• A conjunction is a joiner, a word that connects parts of a sentence.
There are three basic types of conjunctions.
– coordinating conjunctions used to connect two independent clauses,
– subordinating conjunctions used to connect the dependent clause and the rest of the sentence, and
– correlative conjunctions which always travel in pairs, and join sentence parts that should be treated as equal.
COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS
• Coordinating conjunctions may join single words, or they may join groups of words,
• The seven coordinating conjunctions in English are:
F A N B O Y S
Conjunctions are used to join sentences or clauses together.
SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS
•A subordinating conjunction is a word which joins together a dependent clause and an independent clause.
•Common subordinating conjunctions:
BECAUSE, AS, SINCE, SO, ALTHOUGH, (even) THOUGH, WHEREAS, WHILE, AFTER
Correlative CONJUNCTIONS
• Some conjunctions combine with other words to form what are called correlative conjunctions. They always travel in pairs, joining sentence parts that should be treated as equal.
