Conjunction Junction 2

This document provides an overview of the four types of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, conjunctive adverbs, and subordinating conjunctions. It defines each type and provides examples. Coordinating conjunctions connect words or phrases of equal importance. Correlative conjunctions work together to join equivalent words or groups. Conjunctive adverbs connect two independent clauses and require a semicolon. Subordinating conjunctions introduce dependent clauses and signal the relationship between clauses.

Conjunction junction

What else?!

Conjunctions
A conjunction connects other words or groups of words to another. There are four types!

Coordinating Conjunctions Correlative Conjunctions Subordinating Conjunctions Conjunctive Adverbs

Coordinating Conjunctions
And But Or Nor For So Yet

These are the easy ones!


They connect two or more nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, phrases or clauses together.

Correlative conjunctions
Bothand Eitheror Just as.so Neithernor Not onlybut Whetheror

These also join equivalent Words or word groups But work together to do so.

Conjunctive adverbs
These are a bit tricky. They can be considered both conjunctions and adverbs. So the good news is if you mark these as an adverb on the quiz or exam..your OK!

Also besides finally certainly furthermore however incidentally instead meanwhile nevertheless

Here is a good hint for these.


They must connect two independent clauses. They arent true conjunctions so the sentence must have them separated by a semi-colon. If you see a semi-colon, the conjunction is a conjunctive adverb.

The president was attending the lecture; accordingly, the vice president will be available. I am going to be at the doctors on Thursday; so you will have another sub.

Subordinating Conjunctions

These introduce dependant clauses and signal the relationship between the clause and another clause. Sweat ran down my face, while I frantically searched for my child.

Here is a list of the most common.

After, Before, since, unless, although, even though, so that, until, as, if, than, when, as if, in order that, that, where, because, once, though, while

A couple more examples

Unless sales improve dramatically, the company will soon be bankrupt. My Grandmother began traveling, after she sold her house.

Here is another great hint.


You can always reverse these sentences. Put the subordinating conjunction first and separate the clauses with a comma and the sentence still makes sense.

That is all.the end!!
