Conjunctions
7 exercise sets available
Grammar Explanation
Conjunctions are words that connect words, phrases, or clauses. They help create longer, more complex sentences.
Coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so) connect equal elements. Subordinating conjunctions (because, although, when, if, while) connect dependent clauses to main clauses.
Examples
- •“I like coffee and tea.”
- •“She is tired but happy.”
- •“Do you want pizza or pasta?”
- •“He stayed home because he was sick.”
- •“Although it was raining, we went outside.”
Tips
- 💡Remember FANBOYS: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.
- 💡Use a comma before coordinating conjunctions when joining two complete sentences.
- 💡"But" shows contrast, "and" adds information, "or" gives alternatives.
- 💡"Because" gives a reason, "although" shows contrast despite expectations.
