• A conjunction is a joiner, a word that connects parts of a sentence.
Examples
1. I like chicken but not fish.
2. Jai saw a dog on the road and decided to adopt the dog, so he brought the dog home.

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,
Examples:-1. Chris does not want tea or coffee.2. I scored 60% in the exams but Anita scored 7% more than
me this year.
Coordinating Conjunctions
and but or yet for nor so

EASY REMINDER
• An easy way to remember these six conjunctions is to think of the word FANBOYS. Each of the letters in this somewhat unlikely word is the first letter of one of the coordinating conjunctions.
• Among the coordinating conjunctions, the most common, of course, are AND, BUT and OR.

SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS• A subordinating conjunction is a word which joins together a dependent clause
and an independent clause.
Examples:-1. He was fond of playing basketball because it was his father’s favorite
game.
2. Since they had misbehaved, the boys were given one week suspensions
from school.
