    Study Notes

    Purpose of Conjunctions

    • Conjunctions connect words, phrases, or clauses to create complex sentences and enhance clarity.

    Coordinating Conjunctions

    • Examples include 'for', 'and', 'nor', 'but', 'or', 'yet', 'so' (often remembered by the acronym FANBOYS).

    Function of 'Nor'

    • 'Nor' indicates a negative choice, typically used in conjunction with another negative clause.

    Type of Conjunction in "She did not see any puffins or gulls."

    • An example of a coordinating conjunction is used, specifically 'or', which offers alternatives.

    Words Indicating Contrast

    • Words such as 'but', 'however', and 'although' can effectively show contrast in sentences.

    Logical Sequence in Lists

    • Items in a list should be ordered logically, either chronologically, alphabetically, or by importance for coherence.

    Indicating Result or Consequence

    • Phrases like "as a result," "therefore," or "consequently" can be used to indicate consequence or outcome.

    Introducing Reason for Action

    • Using "because" is an appropriate way to introduce the reason behind an action.

    Use of Commas

    • Commas are typically used to separate items in a list, before conjunctions in compound sentences, and after introductory phrases.

    Incorrect Use of Apostrophes

    • Common errors include using apostrophes for plural nouns that do not show possession.

    Use of Periods

    • A period should be used to end a complete sentence, signaling a full stop.

    Purpose of Coordinating Conjunctions

    • Coordinating conjunctions join equivalent grammatical elements, enhancing sentence fluidity and coherence.
