2.  A conjunction is a joiner, a word that connects
parts of a sentence.
 There are three basic types of conjunctions.
 coordinating conjunctions used to connect two
independent clauses,
 subordinating conjunctions used to connect the
dependent clause and the rest of the sentence, and
 correlative conjunctions which always travel in
pairs, and join sentence parts that should be treated
as equal.

3. COORDINATING
CONJUNCTIONS
 Coordinating conjunctions may join single words, or
they may join groups of words,
 They always join similar elements: e.g.
subject+subject, verb phrase+verb phrase,
sentence+sentence.
 The seven coordinating conjunctions in English are:
 FOR
 AND
 NOR
 BUT
 OR
 YET
 SO

4. EASY REMINDER
 An easy way to remember these six
conjunctions is to think of the word
FANBOYS. Each of the letters in this
somewhat unlikely word is the first letter of
one of the coordinating conjunctions.
 Among the coordinating conjunctions, the
most common, of course, are AND, BUT and
OR.

5. Conjunctions are used to join sentences or clauses together.
SUBORDINATING
CONJUNCTIONS
•A subordinating conjunction is a word
which joins together a dependent clause and
an independent clause.
•Common subordinating conjunctions:
BECAUSE, AS, SINCE, SO,
ALTHOUGH, (even) THOUGH,
WHEREAS, WHILE, AFTER

6. Correlative CONJUNCTIONS
 Some conjunctions
combine with other
words to form what are
called correlative
conjunctions. They
always travel in pairs,
joining sentence parts
that should be treated as
equal.
