3. WHAT IS CONJUNCTION?
A conjunction is a part of speech that is used to connect words, phrases, or
clauses in a sentence. It is often used to show the relationship between the
connected elements, whether it's adding information, indicating a choice,
expressing contrast, or demonstrating a cause-and-effect relationship.
Common examples of conjunctions
Include "and," "but," "or,“ "nor," "for," "so," and "yet." They play a crucial role in
forming coherent and well-structured sentences.

4. TYPES OF CONJUNCTIONS
Coordinating Conjunctions Subordinating Conjunctions Correlative Conjunctions
Coordinating conjunctions
coordinate or join two or more
sentences, main clauses, words,
or other parts of speech which
are of the same syntactic
importance.
Subordinating conjunctions are
parts of speech that join
dependent clauses to
independent clauses. These
important words and phrases
may also introduce adverb
clauses.
Correlative conjunctions
correlate, working in pairs to join
phrases or words that carry equal
importance within a sentence.
Like many of the most interesting
parts of speech, correlative
conjunctions are fun to use.
e.g:
• F= for
• A = and
• N = nor
• B = but
• 0=or
•Y = yet
• S = so
e.g:
• after, although, as, as soon as
• because, before, by the time
• even if, even though, every time
• if, in case, now that, once
• since, so that, than, the first
time unless, until, when,
whenever
• whether or not, while, why
e.g:
• as/as, both / and
• either/or, hardly / when
• if/ then, just as /so
• neither / nor, not only / but also
• no sooner than, not / but
• rather than, scarcely / when
what with and, whether / or
