Conjunctions (definition) connect words or
groups of words.
  • There are three kinds of conjunctions.
  • Coordinating, Correlative and Subordinating

3
Coordinating Conjunctions is a single
connecting word.
  • Example and, but, or, yet, for, nor, so

Example of Words
  • Pete and Terry are good friends. (Nouns)
  • Did you speak with him or her? (Pronouns)
  • The dog growled and barked at me. (Verbs)
  • The box was long and narrow. (Adjectives)
  • She spoke softly yet urgently. (Adverbs)

5
Group of Words
  • He looked on the chair and under the chair.
    (Prepositional phrases)
  • Katy began the job but did not finish. (Complete
    predicates)
  • You should remove the bread from the oven, or it
    will burn. (Sentences)

6
Correlative Conjunctionsare pairs of
conjunctions. Correlative conjunctions also
connect words or groups of words.
  • Example both/and
  • either/or
  • neither/nor
  • not only/but also
  • whether/or

Example of Words
  • Both the temperature and the humidity were high
    yesterday. (Nouns)

Group of Words

    her at my cousins house. (Sentences)

3. Subordinating Conjunctions cannot stand
alone as a sentence. They begin a clause that
cannot stand alone and joins it to a clause that
can stand alone. A clause is a group of words
with a subject and verb.
  • Example The fans were quiet while the golfer
    putted.
  • Although I prefer peaches, I also like
    strawberries.

    until

    when
  • As because so that
    whenever
  • As far as before than
    where
  • As if even though though
    wherever
  • As long as if unless
    while
