what is conjunction and it's type
Answers
Explanation:
Conjunctions are used to join clauses, phrases, and words together for constructing sentences. Conjunctions make a link between/among words or groups of words to other parts of the sentence and show a relationship between/among them.
Answer:
A conjunction is the glue that holds words, phrases and clauses (both dependent and independent) together. There are three different kinds of conjunctions -- coordinating, subordinating, and correlative -- each serving its own, distinct purpose, but all working to bring words together.
Explanation:
Types of Conjunctions
Coordinating Conjunctions
Correlative Conjunctions
Subordinating Conjunctions
Coordinating Conjunctions:
The job of a coordinating conjunction is to join two words, phrases, or independent clauses, which are parallel in structure. There are seven coordinating conjunctions which are by far the most common conjunctions: and, but, for, nor, or, so, yet.
Example:
We went to the stadium and enjoyed the cricket match.
Do you want an ice cream or chocolate?
Go away and never come back.
Correlative Conjunctions:
A correlative conjunction uses a set of words in a parallel sentence structure to show a contrast or to compare the equal parts of a sentence. The words of correlative conjunctions have a special connection between them.
The correlative conjunctions are not only - but also, either- or, neither - nor, both - and, not - but, whether - or.
Example:
Neither Alex nor Robin can play baseball.
I want both ice cream and
He ate not only the ice cream but also the chocolate.
Subordinating Conjunctions:
A subordinating conjunction joins elements of an unparallel sentence structure. These elements are usually a dependent clause and an independent clause.
Most commonly used subordinating conjunctions are:
After, how, than, when, although, if, that, where, as, in order that, though, which, as much as, inasmuch as, unless, while, because, provided, until, who/whom, before, since, what, whoever/whomever.
Example:
Before we left home, I had had my breakfast.
Provided they come, we can start class Tuesday.
When he was washing my car, I went to the store.
Even though the weather was horrible, they still went outside.
