CONJUNCTION

and

INTERJECTION
CONJUNCTIONS
A conjunction is like glue. It helps things to stick together.

A conjunction joins words, phrases, and sentences, which are


called clauses.

When two sentences are joined, a comma MUST be placed


before the conjunction.

There are three types of conjunctions: (1) Coordinating


Conjunctions; (2) Subordinating Conjunctions; and (3) Correlative
Conjunctions
Coordinating Conjunction
Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, and
clauses, which are sentences with equal value.

Moreover, it has seven kinds: FOR, AND, NOR, BUT, OR,


YET, & SO or abbreviated as FANBOYS.

These conjunctions affect the meaning of your sentence.


AND connects things that are alike or joined together.

Ex. I want popcorn and pizza.


Diana loves Harry and William.
Samantha is dating Edward, and I am dating Liam.

BUT is used to connect things that are different or


separated.

Ex. I prefer London but not Manchester.


Trisha chose sandals but wore sneakers to the park.
I am happy, but I am broke.
OR is used to offer a choice.

Ex. Are we leaving today or tomorrow?


Will you buy the frontrow seats or the VIP ones?
My exercise routine is walking or jogging early.

NOR is used to offer a negative choice.

Ex. I am not happy nor pleased with your decision.


Kiefer will not speak nor show up for the event.
She is not fine nor in the mood to talk.
YET is used to show a change or contrast.

Ex. She was asleep, yet she was walking mindlessly.


I want to buy the album, yet I bought the jacket.
He is strong yet fragile.

SO is used to show a relationship between things. It is similar to


THEREFORE.

Ex. They were tired, so they went home early.


Julie wanted cheese fries, so she bought some.
Chad wants to settle down, so he married his girlfriend.
FOR is also used to show a relationship between things. It is
similar to BECAUSE.

Ex. I ordered lasagna, for I was hungry.


He was excited, for he was going to meet his family again.
Betty joined the FBI, for she wants to improve her skills.
Subordinating Conjunction
Connects a dependent clause (a clause that cannot be written as a
separate sentence) with an independent clause.

IF, WHILE, BECAUSE, ALTHOUGH, AFTER, BEFORE, UNLESS,


WHEN, UNTIL, SINCE, THEN, AS

Ex. We celebrated after we won the game.


Because our train was delayed, we arrived late.
Watson listened quietly while Holmes explained his theory.
Although the sun is up, Jenny is still in bed.
We will drive down the street then turn left at the next corner.
Correlative Conjunction
Another type of conjunction is called correlative
conjunctions.

Correlative conjunctions connect words, phrases, and


clauses, which are sentences and connect things of equal
value.

They are not single words. They work in pairs.

“both/and,” “either/or,” “neither/nor,” “not/but” and “not


only/but also.”
Both the king and the queen attended the ball.
Either the girls or the ladies will offer the flowers to
the soldiers.
Neither Sally nor Ben can participate in the contest.
Not to be rude but you are blocking my way
Not only did Cecil won the lottery but she also won
a trip abroad.
Interjection
An interjection is something that interrupts a sentence.

It is something that also expresses your emotions like


happiness, fear, anger, or pain.

Some examples of interjections are: ouch, wow, uh oh, oh no,


gosh, shhhh
If an interjection is spoken calmly, simply put a comma
after it and continue the sentence.

Ex. Shhh, the baby is sleeping.


Oh my, I dropped my pencil.
If an interjection is spoken with more emotion, it is
followed by an exclamation point. The next word is then
capitalized.

Ex. Ouch!I just cut my finger.


He scored the winning touchdown. Wow!
