Conjunctions A Conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses. Each conjunction defines a specific relationship between the parts it connects. Reem Alshalan 1
Conjunctions There are four types of conjunctions: 1- Coordinating Conjunctions 2- Correlative (paired) Conjunctions 3- Subordinating Conjunctions 4- Conjunctive Adverbs Reem Alshalan 2
1. Coordinating Conjunctions 1- A coordinating conjunction joins sentence parts that have the same grammatical form. I ate an apple and an orange 2- A coordinating conjunction can join two independent clauses to make one sentence. - I ate an apple and I ate an orange - Coordinating Conjunctions are sometimes called Fan Boys - For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So. Reem Alshalan 3
2. Correlative(paired) Conjunctions Correlative Conjunctions are always in pairs. They are similar to coordinating conjunctions in that they join sentence parts that have the same grammatical form. Both and Not only but also Either or Neither nor Whether or not Reem Alshalan 4
3. Subordinating Conjunction A subordinating conjunction is the first word in a dependent clause. It shows its relationship with the main clause. For example: I can not go to the party because I have work to do. Reem Alshalan 5
4. Conjunctive Adverbs A conjunctive adverb can appear at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of one independent clause, but we often use them to connect two independent clauses. * If they begin a new sentence, they are followed by a comma. She finished reading. Next, she went into the kitchen. * The may follow a semicolon, and are followed by a comma if an independent clause follows. She finished reading; next, she went into the kitchen Reem Alshalan 6
