Study Notes
Conjunctions
- A conjunction is a word or phrase that connects two or more words, phrases, clauses, or sentences to each other.
Types of Conjunctions
- There are three types of conjunctions: Coordinating Conjunctions, Correlative Conjunctions, and Subordinating Conjunctions.
Coordinating Conjunctions
- Coordinating Conjunctions connect two equally important words, phrases, or independent clauses to each other.
- Examples of Coordinating Conjunctions: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.
- When coordinating conjunctions connect two words or phrases, no punctuation is necessary.
- When coordinating conjunctions connect two independent clauses, a comma precedes the coordinating conjunction.
Correlative Conjunctions
- Correlative Conjunctions are pairs of conjunctions that connect two words, phrases, and sometimes clauses to each other.
- Examples of Correlative Conjunctions: not only/but also, either/or, neither/nor, both/and, whether/or, rather/or, just as/so.
- When correlative conjunctions connect two independent clauses, a comma must precede the second pair (i.e., the coordinating conjunction).
Subordinating Conjunctions
- Subordinating Conjunctions connect an independent clause to a subordinate clause.
- Examples of Subordinating Conjunctions: because, where, after, until, unless.
- A comma is placed at the end of the subordinating clause as it starts the sentence.
