Definition of Conjunction

In grammar, a conjunction is a part of

speech that connects two words,

sentences, phrases or clauses together.

In general, a conjunction is an invariable

grammatical particle, and it may or may

not stand between the items it conjoins.

Type of Conjunction 1. Coordinating Conjunctions Coordinating conjunctions, also called coordinators, are

conjunctions that join two or more items of equal syntactic importance, such as words, main clauses, or sentences.

Here are the meanings and some examples of coordinating conjunctions in English:

-for: presents a reason

("He is gambling with his health, for he has been smoking far too long.")

-and: presents non-contrasting item(s) or idea(s)

(ex: "They gamble, and they smoke.")

-nor: presents a non-contrasting negative idea

(ex: "They don't gamble, nor do they smoke.")

-but: presents a contrast or exception

(ex: "They gamble, but they don't smoke.")

- or: presents an alternative item or idea

(ex: "Every day they gamble, or they smoke.")

- yet: presents a contrast or exception

(ex: "They gamble, yet they don't smoke.")

- so: presents a consequence

(ex: "He gambled well last night, so he smoked a cigar to

celebrate.")

2. Correlative Conjunctions

Correlative conjunctions are pairs of conjunctions that

work together to coordinate two items.

Examples:

Either do your work or prepare for a trip to the

office.

Not only is he handsome but he is also brilliant.

Neither the basketball team nor the football team

is doing well.

Both the cross country team and the swimming

team are doing well.

Whether you stay or go is your decision.

3. Subordinating Conjunctions

Subordinating conjuctions are words that ca

n be used to form adverbial clause from the

main sentences. The number

of conjunctions of this type are very much

and in general are adverbs. Conjunction of

this type can be grouped into 5, time, cause

and effect, oppositions, purpose, and

conditional.

a) Time (used to express time)

Ex : 1. We will play

football after we finish doing the

homework.

2. When i go to school, my

father call me.

Before Since Whenever

When As Every time

b) Cause Effect

Ex : 1. Bambang got an accident because he drove while he

was drunk.

c) Opposition

Ex : 1. Agung is rich, whereas Bambang is poor.

Though Even thought While

d) Purpose

Ex: During the class, we need to be quiet in order to be able to listen to what the teacher says.

invite my friends to come over.
