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.

Coordinating Conjunctions

• Coordinating conjunctions bring equally important ideas together. They can join words, phrases and clauses of equal importance and grammatical rank.

• There are seven coordinating conjunctions:

• FANBOYS: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So. Coordinating conjunctions are important when creating compound sentences or when contrasting different ideas.

​Types of Conjunctions:

for

“For.” It explains a reason or purpose (just like "because"), typically with two independent clauses.

Juanita eats healthy, for she wants to stay in shape.

And - joins two ideas

• adds one thing to another. It can be used to join two nouns, two verbs, two adjectives, two phrases, or two independent clauses. 

• You should invite Mario and Estefan to the party.

• The puppies run and jump when their owner comes home.

• I like to read, and I write in my journal every night.

But - introduces opposing ideas

•  It shows contrast between two words, phrases or ideas of equal importance.

• Television is a wonderful escape, but it interferes with my writing.

• We would love to attend the birthday party, but we have plans that day.

• I was going to earn an good grade in Math, but I failed the final test.

Nor: presents a second negative idea

• It’s used to present a second negative idea to join a negative idea in the first clause. “Nor” is less common than other coordinating conjunctions, but still joins two (negative) ideas together.

• My sister doesn’t like to study, nor does she take notes in class.

• King Henry was not the ruler of France, nor did he reign over Spain.

• Our family hasn’t been to Cebu, nor have we been to Davao.

Or = shows alternative

• "or" presents an alternative or a choice. Like “and,” it can be used between two of the same part of speech as well as two phrases or clauses.

• Would you rather read a book or watch a good TV show?

• We could have dinner before the movie, or we could grab a bite afterward.

• Do you prefer to go to bed early or to stay up late?

Yet: adds a contrasting idea

• "yet" It introduces a contrasting idea that follows the preceding idea logically.

• I always take a book to the beach, yet I never seem to turn a single page.

• I really want a kitten, yet my mom says we have too many cats.

• The students like their teacher, yet they wish he graded more fairly.

So: Indicates a Result or Effect

•  “So.” It indicates an effect, result or consequence from an action in the earlier clause.

• I like to read, so I didn’t mind the long reading assignment.

• The grocery store was closed, so we went to the farmer’s market instead.

• A baby bird fell out of its nest, so we took care of it.

2. Subordinating Conjunctions

• Subordinating conjunctions such as "because", "since" and "after" link a dependent clause to an independent clause, helping to show the relationship between the two clauses and emphasize the main idea of the main/independent clause

• Since it was raining, we had to cancel the class picnic.

• The house was a mess after the crazy party we had last night.

• He doesn't go skiing any more, since he had the accident.

The subordinating conjunction is a type of conjunction that connects or joins an independent clause with a subordinate clause.

An independent clause is a clause that can exist by itself in a given sentence.

• Example: We had to cancel the picnic because it was raining.

A subordinate or dependent clause is one which cannot exist or stand

alone by itself as a sentence and only provides some additional information to

the main clause (independent clause)

• Example: We had to cancel the picnic because it was raining.

Subordinating Conjunctions

• 1. before–at an earlier time

  e. g. Before dinner, you have to submit the report for approval. 

• 2. since–from a past time until now

  e. g. Since the party, she has not spoken to him at all

• 3. whether– used to indicate choices or possibilities

  e. g. We have to answer this test whether we like it or not.

• 4. while–a period of time especially when short and marked by the occurrence of an action

  e. g. Someone called while you were out.

5. as long as–provided that

e. g. I might as well go out as long as I’ve got my boots. 

• 6. once–one time and no more.

  e. g. We try to get together once every month. 

• 7. though–in spite of the possibility

  e. g. Though it was raining, we went hiking
