• 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.

COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS

• Coordinating conjunctions may join single words, or they may join groups of words,

• The seven coordinating conjunctions in English are:

F A N B O Y S

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

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.
