Conjunctions

Conjunctions are words that join words or groups of words. There are three main types: • coordinating conjunctions • subordinating conjunctions • Correlative conjunctions

Coordinating conjunctions include: • • And Or For Nor But Yet So These conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses of equal value.

Independent Clauses: Independent clauses can stand on their own as sentences. Example: John is running in this race, and I am carrying his water bottle. Each clause can stand alone: John is running in this race. I am carrying his water bottle. Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses of equal value.

Subordinating conjunctions: Subordinating conjunctions introduce dependent clauses. Dependent clauses cannot stand alone as a single sentence. In fact, the clause is dependent on the rest of the sentence for its meaning.

Dependent Clauses: Dependent Clauses cannot stand alone as a single sentence. The clause is dependent on the rest of the sentence for its meaning. Example: Since I will not be home, Tina will answer the phone. "Since I will not be home" doesn't make sense by itself. It is dependent on the rest of the sentence for its meaning.

Subordinating Conjunctions Most commonly used subordinating conjunctions include: • • • Although Because As While Until Whether Since After So that When Before If

Correlative Conjunctions Correlative conjunctions are two separate conjunctions that work as a pair. Common Correlative Conjunctions and Examples: both, and Ex. Both maroon and gray accent nicely. either, or Ex. I like to wear either pants or capris. neither, nor Ex. Neither the shirt nor the jacket fit. not only, but (also) Ex. Not only one button fell off, but all of them. whether, or Ex. Whether or not you wear nice clothes, you have to wear clothes. not, so much as Ex. It was not that her clothes didn’t match so much as they were just out of style.
