conjunction and its types with full explanationA Conjunction is a word that joins two or more words, phrases or clauses in a single sentence. It helps us to share these ideas and make connections more easily. Without them, we would have to make lots of short, blunt little statements. The most common examples are ‘and’,’ or’, ‘but’ and ‘because’.
What is the Use of Conjunctions?
Let us understand the use of conjunction words list with the help of some practical and easy examples-
She will visit her grandparents and she will go to her friend’s house afterwards.
You can either be relaxed or tense but you cannot be both at the same time.
In the above sentences as we can see that the use of and in the first sentence creates a better flow and makes it easy to read and let’s see how it would sound if we don’t use, “she will visit her grandparents. She will go to her friend’s house afterwards.”
Without the use of and here the sentence sounds blunt and if we use and in the above sentence a better connection and flow is facilitated indeed.A Conjunction is a word that joins two or more words, phrases or clauses in a single sentence.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Students, digital devices and success - Andreas Schleicher - 27 May 2024..pptxEduSkills OECD
Andreas Schleicher presents at the OECD webinar ‘Digital devices in schools: detrimental distraction or secret to success?’ on 27 May 2024. The presentation was based on findings from PISA 2022 results and the webinar helped launch the PISA in Focus ‘Managing screen time: How to protect and equip students against distraction’ https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/managing-screen-time_7c225af4-en and the OECD Education Policy Perspective ‘Students, digital devices and success’ can be found here - https://oe.cd/il/5yV
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
1. WALT: Distinguish between phrases and clauses.
Identify different types of phrases and clauses.
Phrases and Clauses
2. Words
The alphabet contains 26 letters; 5 vowels and 21
consonants.
These letters come together to make words.
We can sort words into eight main types:
3. Words
*** BE CAREFUL ***
Words do NOT have a word class until they are
used in a sentence.
It is the role the word plays in a sentence that
makes it a noun or a verb etc.
4. For example...
Do you think the word cook is a noun or a verb?
The answer is that it DEPENDS on how it is used in
the sentence:
We will cook dinner.
The cook chopped onions.
In this
sentence ‘cook’
is a verb – it is
what we will be
doing.
TIP: we know ‘cook’ is functioning as
a noun because it is introduced by a
determiner.
Here ‘cook’ is a
noun – it is the
name of
something.
5. Words
There are many words which can function differently
to how you might expect.
How would you classify each of the words written
in bold?
Sentence Word Class
The towering oak tree.
We must chip it away.
Vivian rose to her feet and smelt a
rose.
Sam sat on his behind.
A motor-car engine.
Sentence Word Class
The towering oak tree. Adjective
We must chip it away.

6. RECAP
We are now going to look at what happens when we
starting joining words together.
But first, can you tell me the subject, object and verb
in this sentence?..
Rex drank milkshake.
Rex is the
subject – the
person doing
the action.
Drank is the verb – it is
the action being
completed.
Milkshake is
the object – it
is what is
affected by or
receiving the
action.
Being able to identify the SOV will help you to
decide how a group of words is functioning.
8. Phrases
When words joins together they make a phrase.
There are several different types of phrase.
9. Noun Phrase
A noun phrase is a group of words which tell you
more about a noun.
For example:
The eerie abandoned cottage.
10. Noun Phrase
A noun phrase is a group of words which tell you
more about a noun.
For example:
The eerie abandoned cottage.
‘Eerie’ and ‘abandoned’
are adjectives – they
are describing the noun.
‘Cottage’ is a noun – it is
the name of something.
But together this a noun phrase because it tells
you more about the cottage.
11. Noun Phrase
Can you identify the noun phrases?
I found a brand new pair of trainers.
I found a brand new pair of trainers.
Homemade carrot and orange cake tastes
delicious.
Homemade carrot and orange cake tastes
delicious.
Almost all healthy adult foxes can swim.
Almost all healthy adult foxes can swim.
Remember: a noun phrase only gives more information
about (modifies) a noun.
12. Adverbial Phrase
An adverbial phrase is a group of words which
function like an adverb.
They tell you HOW, WHEN, WHY, WHERE or
HOW MUCH an action has occurred.
For example:
Example
Adverb Harry ran quickly.
Adverbial
Phrase
Harry ran as fast as he could.
‘As fast as he could’ is an adverbial phrase because it is a
group of words which tell us HOW Harry ran.
13. Adverbial Phrase
Can you identify the adverbial phrases?
After several hours, we arrived at Grandma’s
house.
After several hours, we arrived at Grandma’s
house.
The cake tasted like heaven.
The cake tasted like heaven.
I tiptoed as everyone was asleep.
I tiptoed as everyone was asleep.
Remember: an adverbial phrase tells you more about the
verb. Fronted adverbials are always marked with a comma.
14. Preposition Phrase
A preposition phrase is a group of words which
begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or
pronoun.
They tell you the position or location of
something.
For example:
The mouse hid under the wardrobe.
15. Preposition Phrase
A preposition phrase is a group of words which
begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or
pronoun.
They tell you the position or location of
something.
For example:
The mouse hid under the wardrobe.
‘under’ is a preposition – this phrase
tells you where the mouse is in relation
to the wardrobe.
16. Phrases
Take a look at some of the phrases we have
talked about so far:
the eerie abandoned cottage
after several hours
under the wardrobe
Which very common word class is missing?..
Phrases which contain verbs have their own
special title...
CLAUSES
VERBS
18. Clauses
Phrases which contain a verb are called clauses.
A clause always contains a subject performing
a verb this is why being able to identify the
SOV is so important!
For example:
Lily ran
Lily is the
subject – the
person doing
the action.
ran is the verb – it is
the action being
completed.
We have a
subject (Lily)
performing a verb
(ran) so this is a
CLAUSE
19. Phrase or Clause?
Decide whether each example is a phrase or
clause
Example Phrase or Clause?
Lola sang beautifully
an abandoned ship
the white flower
the boys kicked the football
opposite the park
the wind howled fiercely
Example Phrase or Clause?
Lola sang beautifully Clause
an abandoned ship
the white flower
the boys kicked the football
opposite the park
the wind howled fiercely
Example Phrase or Clause?
Lola sang beautifully Clause
an abandoned ship Phrase
the white flower
the boys kicked the football
opposite the park
the wind howled fiercely

an abandoned ship Phrase
the white flower Phrase
the boys kicked the football
opposite the park

the boys kicked the football Clause
opposite the park
the wind howled fiercely
Example Phrase or Clause?

opposite the park Phrase
the wind howled fiercely
Example Phrase or Clause?
Lola sang beautifully Clause
an abandoned ship Phrase
the white flower Phrase
the boys kicked the football Clause
opposite the park Phrase
the wind howled fiercely Clause
21. Main Clause
A main clause contains a subject performing a verb.
Every sentence contains at least one main clause.
The main clause is the most important idea in the
sentence. It expresses a complete thought and so
makes sense on its own.
The clauses we looked at earlier are all main
clauses.
Example
Lola sang beautifully. Clause
The boys kicked the
football.
Clause
22. Subordinate Clause
A subordinate clause gives extra information about
the main clause.
It can come before or after the main clause but
doesn’t make sense on its own.
The main
clause contains
the most
important idea
in the sentence.
The
subordinate
clause is less
important, it just
gives the reader
a bit more
detail.
23. Subordinate Clause
For example:
Although she was clumsy, Harriet caught the
netball.
This is the main clause...
It contains a subject (Harriet) performing
a verb (caught) and makes sense on its
own
24. Subordinate Clause
For example:
Although she was clumsy, Harriet caught the
netball.
This is the main clause...
It contains a subject (Harriet) performing
a verb (caught) and makes sense on its
own
This is a subordinate clause... It
is not a complete idea and doesn’t
make sense without being
attached to the main clause.
25. Main or Subordinate Clause?
Decide whether the underlined section is a main clause
or a subordinate clause
Example MC SC
Emery arrived after the school bell had rung.
Although I was terrified, I crept up the creaking
staircase.
It was raining so we cancelled our picnic.
Despite it being -2°C outside, Frank still didn’t bring his
jumper to school!
On Fridays we normally go swimming but today I forgot
my kit.
The fox slinked through the dense undergrowth and
pounced on the unsuspecting mouse.

pounced on the unsuspecting mouse.
26. Clause
So far we have looked at two types of clause: main
clauses and subordinate clauses.
It is important that you are able to distinguish
between these.
REMEMBER – both contain a subject performing a
verb, but ONLY main clauses makes sense on their
own.
There is one other type of clause you should be able
to identify...
27. Relative Clause
A relative clause is a type of subordinate clause.
It gives more information about the noun in the
main clause and begins with a relative pronoun.
For example:
We visited the farm where my dad works.
28. Relative Clause
A relative clause is a type of subordinate clause.
It gives more information about the noun in the
main clause and begins with a relative pronoun.
For example:
We visited the farm where my dad works.
Farm is the
noun.
29. Relative Clause
A relative clause is a type of subordinate clause.
It gives more information about the noun in the
main clause and begins with a relative pronoun.
For example:
We visited the farm where my dad works.
Farm is the
noun.
This is the relative clause – it
tells us more about the farm.
30. Relative Clause
Sometimes a relative clause will ‘split’ the main
clause – this is called an embedded relative
clause.
For example:
My friend Milo, who loves football,
practises every night.
31. Relative Clause
Sometimes a relative clause will ‘split’ the main
clause – this is called an embedded relative
clause.
For example:
My friend Milo, who loves football,
practises every night.
Embedded relative
clause
Main clause
32. Relative Clause
Spotting a relative clause is actually quite easy.
As it is a type of subordinate clause, it will contain a
subject performing a verb but WON’T make sense on
its own.
However, it WILL add more information about the
noun in the main clause and begin with a relative
pronoun.
34. Relative Clause
Can you identify the relative clauses in these
sentences?
The wolf, who was head of the pack, stretched lazily
in the midday sun.
I did my homework when I got home from school.
Everly forgot her homework which frustrated Miss
Smith.
The treasure, that Captain Sparrow found, was worth
millions.
The dog, whose owner was at work, chewed the
kitchen table.

You can use the
following
questions to help
you identify
different types of
clauses...
41. Linking Clauses
Although you can construct a sentence from a single
clause, complex sentences will contain more than
one.
To link clauses together you need a special type of
word class...
For example:
James stepped on the ice and he slipped
over.
CONJUNCTIO
NS
42. Linking Clauses
Although you can construct a sentence from a single
clause, complex sentences will contain more than
one.
To link clauses together you need a special type of
word class...
For example:
James stepped on the ice and he slipped
over.
CONJUNCTIO
NS
These are both main clauses – they contain a
subject (James/he) performing a verb
(stepped/slipped) and make sense on their
own.
43. Linking Clauses
Although you can construct a sentence from a single
clause, complex sentences will contain more than
one.
To link clauses together you need a special type of
word class...
For example:
James stepped on the ice and he slipped
over.
CONJUNCTIO
NS
These are both main clauses – they contain a
subject (James/he) performing a verb
(stepped/slipped) and make sense on their
own.
‘and’ joins the two
main clauses
together.
44. Coordinating Conjunctions
Conjunctions which link two main clauses together
are called coordinating conjunctions.
There are seven different coordinating conjunctions:
These four
coordinatin
g
conjunction
s are used
most often.
45. Subordinating Conjunctions
Conjunctions which link together a main and a
subordinate clause are called subordinating
conjunctions.
There are many subordinating conjunctions
including:
Subordinating Conjunctions
although as because before
despite if since though
unless whereas while so that
CAREFUL– don’t confuse ‘so that’ with just ‘so’ which is a coordinating
conjunction
Subordinating Conjunctions
although as because before
despite if since though
unless whereas while so that
46. Conjunctions
*** BE CAREFUL ***
Although conjunctions link clauses together, they do
not have to come between two clauses
For example:
Although she was clumsy, Harriet caught the
netball.
Harriet caught the netball although she was
clumsy.
47. Conjunctions
*** BE CAREFUL ***
Although conjunctions link clauses together, they do
not have to come between two clauses
For example:
Although she was clumsy, Harriet caught the
netball.
Harriet caught the netball although she was
clumsy.
In both sentences, ‘although’ is acting as a
48. Conjunctions
Can you identify the conjunctions in these
sentences?
Lexi played outside until it was time for dinner.
Lexi played outside until it was time for dinner.
Before mum arrived home, Henry dared me to eat a
slug.
Before mum arrived home, Henry dared me to eat a
slug.
Oscar wasn’t paying attention so he walked into the
lamppost!
Oscar wasn’t paying attention so he walked into the
49. Points to Remember
A group of words joins together to make a phrase.
A clause ALWAYS contains a subject performing a
verb.
There are three types of clause:
Main clause Makes sense on its own.
Subordinate clause does NOT make sense on
its own, it must be ‘attached’ to a main clause.
Relative clause a special type of subordinate
clause. They start with a relative pronoun and tell
you more about the noun in the main clause.
Conjunctions link clauses together. They can come in
between the two clauses or at the beginning of the
sentence.
