Conjunction
A conjunction is a word used to connect words, phrases, clauses, or sentences. Conjunctions help to form complex ideas without repeating information.
- I wanted to go for a walk, but it started to rain.
- She likes coffee and tea.
- He will come if he finishes his work.
- We can go out or stay home.
- She worked hard because she wanted to succeed.
Coordinating Conjunctions
Join two equal parts of a sentence — words, phrases, or independent clauses.
Examples: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.
Example Sentence: She wanted to go out, but it was raining.
Subordinating Conjunctions
Connect a dependent clause to an independent clause and show the relationship between them.
Examples: because, although, since, unless, when, if, while, before, after.
Example Sentence: I stayed home because I was tired.
Correlative Conjunctions
Used in pairs to join equal sentence elements that are grammatically similar.
Examples: either…or, neither…nor, both…and, not only…but also, whether…or.
Example Sentence: Either you start working now or you’ll miss the deadline.
Conjunctive Adverbs
Act as transitions between independent clauses, showing contrast, cause, or sequence.
Examples: however, therefore, moreover, consequently, furthermore, meanwhile.
Example Sentence: She was tired; however, she continued working.
