Study Notes

Conjunctions

Conjunctions link words, phrases, or clauses together.
Coordinating conjunctions join similar elements (e.g., noun with noun, adjective with adjective).
Subordinating conjunctions join subordinate clauses to main clauses.
Types of conjunctions include contrast, cause + effect, time, place, manner, and condition.
Correlative conjunctions are used in pairs to join alternatives or equal elements, such as "either/or" and "not only but also".

Prepositions

Prepositions indicate the relationship between a noun/pronoun and other words in a sentence.
Prepositions are used to show where or when something is related to something else.
Examples include "in," "on," "under," "behind," "at," "to," "from," "across," and "in".
Simple prepositions are single words (e.g., "from," "with," "in").
Complex prepositions are combinations of words (e.g., "ahead of," "due to," "next to").

Types include definite articles (e.g., "the") and indefinite articles (e.g., "a," "an").
