CONJUNCTION DEFINITION:A CONJUNCTION is basically a part of speech that connect sentences, phrases or clauses together.

TYPES OF CONJUNCTION:There are basically 3 types of conjunction:Coordinating ConjunctionsSubordinating ConjunctionsCorelative Conjunctions

TYPES

What Are Clauses?Mainly there are two types of Clauses. 1. An independent clause is a phrase that

can stand alone as it’s own sentence.

– The car is red.

2. A dependent clause is a phrase that needs to have another one in order to make it a complete sentence.

–When his favorite car crashed.

1. SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS:-

A Sub Ordinating Conjunction joins two dependent clauses in which one clause depends upon other clause for its meaning.The most common subordinating conjunctions are "after," "although," "as," "because," "before," "how," "if," "once," "since," "than," "that," "though," "till," "until," "when," "where," "whether," and "while."

EXAMPLES: If the paperwork arrives on time, your cheque

will be mailed on Tuesday.

Here, the subordinating conjunction “if " introduces the dependent clause "If the paperwork arrives on time."

Ali cried when his favorite car crashed.

The subordinating conjunction "when" introduces the dependent clause "when his car crashed“.

2. COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS:-

Coordinating means of equal rank. Thus Coordinating conjunction joins two clauses of equal rank.Main examples of coordinating conjunctions are learnt by learning a word “FANBOYS”Examples: For, And, Neither/Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.

EXAMPLES:

• She picked daffodils and sunflowers, which are usually yellow.

• I wanted to go over my friends house but I had a lot of homework.

Correlative conjunctions work in pairs to join words and groups of words of equal weight in a sentence. There are six different pairs of correlative conjunctions:either...ornot only...but (also)neither...nor (or increasingly neither...or)both...andwhether...orjust as...so

3 .CO RELATIVE CONJUNCTIONS:-

EXAMPLES:1. You either do your work or prepare for a trip to to the Zoo.2. Not only is he handsome, but he is also brilliant.3. Neither the basketball team nor the football team is doing well.4. Both the cross country team and the swimming team are doing well.
