Let us take a closer look . .


What is a conjunction?
Conjunction is the name for those common words
that are used to join (conjoin) parts of sentences. Also,
conjunctions may be used to begin certain sentences.

There are two different types of conjunctions:


coordinating conjunctions and subordinating
conjunctions.

Conjunctions sometimes work in pairs and are called


correlative conjunctions.

Conjunctive adverbs are also frequently used to


provide logical connections in sentences.

Coordinating Conjunctions
These conjunctions are seven very common words. They
are very small, made up of three or fewer letters.

When to Use Each Coordinating Conjunction:


Reason Coordinating Conjunction
To communicate addition and
To communicate contrast but, yet
To communicate a result/effect so
To communicate a reason/cause for
To communicate a choice or
To communicate a negative choice nor

Use them between two independent clauses.


Coordinating Conjunctions cont.
Coordinating conjunctions are used to join words,
phrases, and independent clauses.

Examples of coordinating conjunctions in sentences:


Ex. He only wears striped ties and polka dotted bow
ties. ( And joins two words.)

Ex. The shoes were not blue suede nor black leather.
(Nor joins two phrases.)

Ex. It wasnt a costume party, yet many came dressed


as literary villains. (Yet joins two independent clauses.)

Coordinating Conjunctions cont.
These coordinating conjunctions are used to join
independent clauses.
Examples of coordinating conjunctions in sentences:

Ex. The shoes were not suede; however, they were


leather. (However joins two independent clauses.)

Ex. It was not a Halloween party; nevertheless, many


came dressed in costumes. (nevertheless joins two
independent clauses.)
Subordinate Conjunctions
These conjunctions are used to express relationships
between a dependent and an independent clause.

When to Use Common Subordinate Conjunctions:

Reason Subordinate Conjunction


Regarding time after, before, once, since,
until, when, whenever, while
To communicate a reason/cause as, because, since
To communicate a result/effect in order that, so, so that, that
To communicate a conditionif, even if, unless
To communicate contrast although, even though,
though, whereas
Regarding location where, wherever
Regarding a choice than, whether
Subordinate Conjunctions cont.
Subordinate conjunctions often begin a dependent clause. If
the dependent clause begins or interrupts the sentence, then
it is separated from the independent clause by a comma.

Examples of subordinate conjunctions in sentences:


Ex. Once she found the perfect broach, she purchased
three outfits to match it. (Once demonstrates a time context. A
comma is used because the conjunction begins the sentence.)

Ex. He wore the top hat wherever he went. (Wherever


demonstrates a location context. Though wherever begins the
dependent clause, no comma is used because it does not begin the
sentence or interrupt the sentence.)
Correlative Conjunctions
Correlative conjunctions are two separate
conjunctions that are often in sentences together.

Common Correlative Conjunctions and Examples:


both, and Ex. Both maroon and gray accent nicely.
either, or Ex. I like to wear either pants or capris.
neither, nor Ex. Neither the shirt nor the jacket fit.
not only, but (also) Ex. Not only one button fell off, but all of
them.
whether, or Ex. Whether or not you wear nice clothes,
you have to wear clothes.
not, so much as Ex. It was not that his clothes were
flamboyant so much as they were
florid.
