A conjunction is a word that joins words, phrases, clauses & sentences.
By Sheetal Desarda
Here are the types of conjunctions: 1. Coordinating conjunctions: These join two words, two phrases or two clauses. These join the things that have the same status grammatically. Examples are and, or, nor, for, but, yet, so. 1. I like cake and ice-cream. 2. The teacher is in the library or the classroom.
2. subordinating conjunctions: These join independent clauses to dependent clauses. Examples are while, until, unless, although, since, if, because, whenever. 1. I will continue studying until I score well in the exam. 2. My brother cried when he got into Oxford.
3. Correlative conjunctions: These appear in pairs and work like coordinating conjunctions. These join the things that have the same status grammatically. These appear at different places in a sentence. Examples are either-or, neither-nor, not only-but also,both-and. 1. She is both talented and polite. 2. Either Sneha or Asha will sing a song.
