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 finite verbs, infinite verbs, auxiliary verbs, linking verbs, transitive verbs, and intransitive verbs.
