Conjunctions

by Cres

​A conjunction is a word that is used to join words, phrases, clauses, or sentences.

​

​There are three types of conjunctions:

1. 1.Coordinating conjunctions

2. Correlative conjunctions

3. Subordinating conjunctions

​A coordinating conjunction is a word placed between words, sentences or clauses of equal rank.

​FANBOYS: the mnemonic for coordinating conjunctions. Each of these words has a different use.

​For -means because

And - means another, addition

Nor - means not,

But - shows contrast

Or - means a choice

Yet - shows contrast/means “even” or “still”

So - gives result/means “in order that”
