GRAMMAR : Search for notes on conjunctions.

A conjunction is a word that "joins". A conjunction joins two parts of a sentence.

Here are some example conjunctions:

• Coordinating Conjunctions :-

          and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so 

• Subordinating Conjunctions :-

          although, because, since, unless 

We can consider conjunctions from three aspects.

Form

Conjunctions have three basic forms:

• Single Word

for example: and, but, because, although

• Compound (often ending with as or that)

for example: provided that, as long as, in order that

• Correlative (surrounding an adverb or adjective)

for example: so...that

Function

Conjunctions have two basic functions or "jobs":

• Coordinating conjunctions are used to join two parts of a sentence that are grammatically equal. The two parts may be single words or clauses, for example:

- Jack and Jill went up the hill.
- The water was warm, but I didn't go swimming.

• Subordinating conjunctions are used to join a subordinate dependent clause to a main clause, for example:

- I went swimming although it was cold.

Position

• Coordinating conjunctions always come between the words or clauses that they join.

• Subordinating conjunctions usually come at the beginning of the subordinate clause.
