Hi. In the classroom today you will learn about
conjunctions, an important part of English
grammar.
A conjunction is a word that connects
phrases,
clauses, or other words.
The three types of
conjunctions are
coordinate conjunctions,
correlative conjunctions, and
subordinate conjunctions.
Coordinate conjunctions are used to connect words,
phrases,
and
independent clauses.
Examples of
coordinate conjunctions include: and, but, for, nor, or,
so, yet.
Correlative conjunctions appear in pairs and connects equivalent parts of a
sentence.
Examples of
correlative conjunctions include: both...and, either...or,
neither...nor, not only...but also, so...as, whether...or.
Subordinate conjunctions are used to introduce a
dependent clause and show the
relationship between the
independent clause and the
dependent clause.
Examples of
subordinate conjunctions include: after, although, as, because, before,
how, if, once, since, than, that, though, till, until, when,
where, whether, while.
Conjunctions are an important part of English
grammar.
Until next time. |
