What is Conjunction? * A Conjunction is a word or phrases that connect other words or group of words. * Conjunction is like glue. It helps things to stick together.
Example:
I went to the market to buy milk, eggs and bread.
* Conjunctions connect two prepositional phrases
Example:
I went skiing down the hill and past the trees.
* Conjunction can connect two sentences or clauses. * When two sentences are joined, a comma MUST be placed before the conjunction.
Example:
I played cards for awhile but then I played chess.
Types of Conjuctions 1. Coordinating Conjunctions 2. Subordinating Conjunctions 3. Correlative Conjunctions
1. Coordinating Conjunctions
* They connect words, phrases, and clauses, which are sentences. * They connect things of equal value. (This means that they would connect a noun with another noun or a prepositional phrase with another prepositional phrase.)
* There are seven coordinating conjunctions: for or but and
so yet nor
* Coordinating Conjunction affects the meaning of your sentence.
Popcorn Pizza * “And” connects things that are alike or joined together. Example: I want popcorn and pizza. * But” is used to connect things that are different or separated. Example: I want popcorn but not pizza. * “Or” is used to offer a choice. Example: Do I want popcorn or pizza?
* “Nor” is used to offer a negative choice. Example: I do not want popcorn nor pizza. * “Yet” is used to show a change. When it is used to combine two sentences, you must put a comma before it. Example: I want popcorn, yet I also want pizza. *
