Conjunction definition: A
conjunction is a part of speech that
connects clauses or sentences. A
conjunction also connects
coordinating words in the same
clause.
A conjunction is a part of speech that acts
as a connector.
 Theword itself literally means join (con-)

together (junct).
 Conjunctions are used to connect

clauses, sentences, or words in writing.
Conjunctions serve to join together ideas
or words.
 Timmy wanted to ride his bike and he
wanted to go to the park.
 Sofia
did not like bananas but she loved
apples.
Iplay baseball, soccer, and football for

my school.
There are few primary types of
conjunctions in English:
 coordinating conjunctions,
 subordinating conjunctions, and
 correlative conjunctions.
What are coordinating conjunctions?
Coordinating conjunctions connect
words, phrases, and clauses. They link
ideas or concepts.
A coordinating conjunction gives
equal emphasis or importance to clauses,
phrases, and words. Use coordinating
conjunctions when you want to show
equality.
and
but
for
nor
or
so
yet
Examples:
 I tried to answer the question, but I did
not have enough time.
• In this example, each clause has equal
weight. It is equally important that “I
tried” and that “I did not have enough
time.”
 You may bring a main dish or a side dish
to the party.
• In this example, the “main dish” and
“side dish” carry the same importance.
It does not matter which you bring, just
bring one.
What are subordinating conjunctions?
Subordinating conjunctions connect two
clauses in complex sentences. One
clause is independent (main clause) and
the other clause is dependent
(subordinating clause). The first word in
the dependent clause is a subordinating
conjunction.
 Than
 After
 That
 Although
 Though
 As
 Unless
 Because
 Until
 Before
 When
 Even if
 Even though
 Whenever
 Where
 If
 Whereas
 In order that
 Wherever
 Once
 Whether
 Provided that
 While
 Rather than
 Why
 Since
 So that
Commas are placed after the subordinate
clause when the clause begins the sentence.
Example:
 After a long interview, the team hired
Fernando.
 Although Washington frequently dips below
32 degrees in the winter months, the bottom
of ponds and rivers do not get cold enough
to freeze
If the subordinating clause is at the end of

the sentence, no comma is needed.
Example :
 The team hired Fernando after a long
interview
What are correlative conjunctions?
Correlative conjunctions are conjunctions that
work in tandem to join clauses or phrases of
equal weight.
 My brother will begin either trade school or
community college in the fall.
 He is not only a strong student but also a gifted
athlete.
Use a comma before the second coordinating
conjunctions when they join two lengthy
independent clauses.
 Not only did she graduate with honors, but she
also gave the commencement speech.
