Conjunctions

My classmates where somehow familiar with this topic since they already discussed this but sadly I failed my linguistics  class so that means I can't get the Pre-requisite subject which is Structures of English. but based on the reporter a conjunction is a part of speech that is used to connect words, phrases, clauses, or sentences. Conjunctions are considered to be invariable grammar particle, and they may or may not stand between items they conjoin.
  • Subordinating conjunctions –  Also known as subordinators, these conjunctions join dependent clauses to independent clauses.
  • Coordinating conjunction – Also known as coordinators, these conjunctions coordinate or join two or more sentences, main clauses, words, or other parts of speech which are of the same syntactic importance.
  • Correlative conjunction – These conjunctions correlate, working in pairs to join phrases or words that carry equal importance within a sentence.
  • Conjunctive adverbs – While some instructors do not teach conjunctive adverbs alongside conjunctions, these important parts of speech are worth a mention here. These adverbs always connect one clause to another, and are used to show sequence, contrast, cause and effect, and other relationships.

List of conjunctions commonly used in American English:
  • And
  • As
  • Because
  • But
  • For
  • Just as
  • Or
  • Neither
  • Nor
  • Not only
  • So
  • Whether
  • Yet
So that's it you Guys, I hope I helped you with your Grammar Stuffs
Hope to see you on my next one. Bye :)
