Conjunctions

Conjunction is a word that joins or links words, phrases, or sentences, for example ‘and’, ‘but’, ‘or’, etc.

The conjunctions are classified under the following groups:

Coordinate Conjunctions

but: however (He knocked but nobody opened the door.)

or: alternatively ( Did she buy a scooter or a car? )

nor: and neither (She did not sing a song, nor did anyone else.)

yet: however (They had plenty of money, yet they did not buy a car.)

Correlative Conjunctions

both ... and ( He is both handsome and good-natured. )

either ... or (I will either go for swimming or read a book.)

neither ... nor ( He is neither honest nor industrious.)

hardly ... when (He had hardly begun to study, when he was called by his friends.)

if ... then (If that is true, then you can go early.)

no sooner ... than (No sooner had I turned the corner, than it began to rain.)

not only ... but also ( She is not only clever, but also beautiful.)

scarcely ... when (Scarcely had I left home, when my dad called me to return.)

what with ... and (What with all her aunts, uncles and cousins, she has many relatives. ) whether ... or ( Have you decided whether you lend me your bike or not?)

Subordinate conjunctions

There is another group of conjunctions (they are also known as relative pronouns) such as that, what, whatever, which, who and whom, as well as with words such as how, when, where, wherever and why. Subordinate clauses begin with them.
