What is a conjunction?

A conjunction is a part of speech that is used to connect words, phrases, clauses, or sentences. Conjunctions are considered to be invariable grammar particle, and they may or may not stand between items they conjoin.

Types of Conjunctions

There are several different types of conjunctions that do various jobs within sentence structures. These include:

Subordinating conjunctions

Also known as subordinators, these conjunctions join dependent clauses to independent clauses.

Coordinating conjunction

Also known as coordinators, these conjunctions coordinate or join two or more sentences, main clauses, words, or other parts of speech which are of the same syntactic importance.

Correlative conjunction – These conjunctions correlate, working in pairs to join phrases or words that carry equal importance within a sentence.

Conjunctive adverbs

While some instructors do not teach conjunctive adverbs alongside conjunctions, these important parts of speech are worth a mention here. These adverbs always connect one clause to another, and are used to show sequence, contrast, cause and effect, and other relationships.

For example,

without conjunction - “My name is Raghu. I am a boy. I like chocolates.”

With conjunction - “I am a boy named Raghu, and I like chololates.”

Conjunction Rules

There are a few important rules for using conjunctions. Remember them and you will find that your writing flows better:

• Conjunctions are for connecting thoughts, actions, and ideas as well as nouns, clauses, and other parts of speech. For example: Mary went to the supermarket and bought oranges.

• Conjunctions are useful for making lists. For example: We made pancakes, and coffee for breakfast.

• When using conjunctions, make sure that all the parts of your sentences agree. For example: “I work busily yet am careful” does not agree. “I work busily yet carefully” shows agreement.

Conjunctions List

There are only a few common conjunctions, yet these words perform many functions: They present explanations, ideas, exceptions, consequences, and contrasts. Here is a list of conjunctions commonly used in English:

• And
• As
• Because
• But
• For
• Just as
• Or
• Neither
• Nor
• Not only
• So
• Whether
• Yet

Examples of Conjunctions

• I tried to hit the nail but hit my thumb instead.
• I have two goldfish and a cat.
• I’d like a bike for commuting to work.
• You can have peach ice cream or a brownie sundae.
• Neither the black dress northe gray one looks right on me.
• My dad always worked hard so we could afford the things we wanted.
• I try very hard in school yet I am not receiving good grades.

Note : The highlited words in examples are conjunctions.

Answer 2

$\huge{\underline{\sf{\green{Conjunction :-}}}}$

A conjunction is a word that joins words or sentences together.

${\underline{\sf{\green{Let's\:see\:some\:sentences-}}}}$

1. Rama has gone and Arjun has come.

2. Do your work or I shall punish you.

3. I called him but he didn't hear me.

Here, the word and joins the sentence Rama has gone to the sentence Arjun has come.

The word or joins the sentence Do your work to the sentence I shall punish you.

The word but joins the sentence I called him to the sentence he didn't hear me.

These words and, or, but, which are used to join one sentence to another, are called conjunction.

Conjunction ( Latin con, together, and junctus, joined)

Sometimes, a conjunction merely joins words ; as,

$\small{\underline{\sf{\blue{Example-}}}}$

Two and two make four.

$\huge{\underline{\sf{\green{Conjunction :-}}}}$

1. Coordinating Conjunction :-

but, and, nor etc

2. Subordinating Conjunction :-

where, while, when etc

$\huge{\underline{\sf{\green{Note-}}}}$

• Some conjunctions are used in pairs ; as

• Both ___ and

$\small{\underline{\sf{\blue{Example-}}}}$

We both love and honour him

• Either ____ or

$\small{\underline{\sf{\blue{Example-}}}}$

Either take it or leave it.

• Neither ___ nor

$\small{\underline{\sf{\blue{Example-}}}}$

It is neither useful nor ornamental.

• Whether ___ or

$\small{\underline{\sf{\blue{Example-}}}}$

I do not care whether you go or stay.

Remember that :-

Conjunctions which are thus used in pairs are called Correlative Conjunctions or merely Correlatives.
