GHT - Happy English - Lesson 20 - Conjunction

This document discusses conjunctions, which are words that link words, phrases, or clauses together. There are three main types of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, and subordinating conjunctions. Coordinating conjunctions join grammatically equal elements, correlative conjunctions work in pairs like either/or, and subordinating conjunctions signal relationships between clauses like because or although. Examples are provided for each type.

LESSON 20:
CONJUNCTION
Conjunction
• Conjunctions are words that link
other words, phrases, or clauses
together.
• Conjunctions allow you to form
complex, elegant sentences and
avoid the choppiness of multiple
short sentences.
Example:
• I like cooking and eating, but I don’t like
washing dishes afterward.

The word “and” and “but” are conjunction that


joins the two phrases together.
Types of Conjunction
• There are 3 types of conjunction:

Coordinating Conjunctions
Correlative Conjunctions
Subordinating Conjunction
Coordinating Conjunctions
• The main function of coordinating conjunctions is
to join words, phrases, and clauses together, which
are usually grammatically equal.
• Aside from that, this type of conjunctions is placed
in between the words or groups of words that it
links together, and not at the beginning or at the
end.
• The most common coordinating conjunctions
are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so
Coordinating Conjunction
Example:
I’d like pizza or a salad for lunch.

Mr Lee didn’t have much money, but


he got by.
Correlative Conjunctions

• Correlative conjunctions are pairs of


conjunctions that work together.
• Some examples are either/or,
neither/nor, and not only/but also,
both/and .
Correlative Conjunctions

Not only am I finished studying for


English, but I’m also finished writing
my history essay.

Either mum or dad will pick you up.


Subordinating Conjunction
• A subordinating conjunction can
signal a cause-and-effect
relationship, a contrast, or some
other kind of relationship
between the clauses.
• Common subordinating
conjunctions are because, since,
as, although, though,
while, and whereas.
