THE EIGHT PARTS OF SPEECH

There are eight parts of speech in the English language: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb,
preposition, conjunction, and interjection. The part of speech indicates how the word functions in
meaning as well as grammatically within the sentence. An individual word can function as more
than one part of speech when used in different circumstances. Understanding parts of speech is
essential for determining the correct definition of a word when using the dictionary.

1. NOUN

 A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea.

man... Butte College... house...  happiness

A noun is a word for a person, place, thing, or idea. Nouns are often used with an article (the, a,
an), but not always. Proper nouns always start with a capital letter; common nouns do not. Nouns
can be singular or plural, concrete or abstract. Nouns show possession by adding 's. Nouns can
function in different roles within a sentence; for example, a noun can be a subject, direct object,
indirect object, subject complement, or object of a preposition.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared.
Oh my!

See the TIP Sheet on "Nouns" for further information.

2. PRONOUN

 A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun.

She... we... they...  it

A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun. A pronoun is usually substituted for a specific
noun, which is called its antecedent. In the sentence above, the antecedent for the pronoun she is
the girl. Pronouns are further defined by type: personal pronouns refer to specific persons or
things; possessive pronouns indicate ownership; reflexive pronouns are used to emphasize
another noun or pronoun; relative pronouns introduce a subordinate clause; and demonstrative
pronouns identify, point to, or refer to nouns.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly
disappeared. Oh my!

See the TIP Sheet on "Pronouns" for further information.

3. VERB

 A verb expresses action or being.

jump...  is... write... become

The verb in a sentence expresses action or being. There is a main verb and sometimes one or
more helping verbs. ("She can sing." Sing is the main verb; can is the helping verb.) A verb must
agree with its subject in number (both are singular or both are plural). Verbs also take different
forms to express tense.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly
disappeared. Oh my!

See the TIP Sheet on "Verbs" for more information.

4. ADJECTIVE

 An adjective modifies or describes a noun or pronoun.

pretty...  old...  blue... smart

An adjective is a word used to modify or describe a noun or a pronoun. It usually answers the
question of which one, what kind, or how many. (Articles [a, an, the] are usually classified as
adjectives.)

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly
disappeared. Oh my!

See the TIP Sheet on "Adjectives" for more information.

5. ADVERB

 An adverb modifies or describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

gently... extremely...  carefully... well

An adverb describes or modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, but never a noun. It
usually answers the questions of when, where, how, why, under what conditions, or to what
degree. Adverbs often end in -ly.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly
disappeared. Oh my!

See the TIP Sheet on "Adverbs" for more information.

2
6. PREPOSITION

 A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase

modifying another word in the sentence.

by... with.... about...  until

(by the tree, with our friends, about the book, until tomorrow)

A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase modifying another
word in the sentence. Therefore a preposition is always part of a prepositional phrase. The
prepositional phrase almost always functions as an adjective or as an adverb. The following list
includes the most common prepositions:

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly
disappeared. Oh my!

See the TIP Sheet on "Prepositions" for more information.

7. CONJUNCTION

 A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses.

and...  but...  or... while... because

A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses, and indicates the relationship between the
elements joined. Coordinating conjunctions connect grammatically equal elements: and, but, or,
nor, for, so, yet. Subordinating conjunctions connect clauses that are not equal: because,
although, while, since, etc. There are other types of conjunctions as well.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly
disappeared. Oh my!

See the TIP Sheet on "Conjunctions" for more information.

8. INTERJECTION

 An interjection is a word used to express emotion.

Oh!... Wow!... Oops!

An interjection is a word used to express emotion. It is often followed by an exclamation point.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared.
Oh my

What Is Subject-Verb Agreement?

Subject-verb agreement is the grammatical rule that the verb or verbs in a sentence must match
the number, person, and gender of the subject; in English, the verb needs to match just the
number and sometimes the person. For example, the singular subject it and the plural subject
they use different versions of the same verb: “it goes . . . ” and “they go . . . ”

Learning the rules for subject-verb agreement can be difficult at first, but with enough practice,
you’ll find they start to make more sense. Below, we explain everything you need to tackle any
subject-verb agreement exercises you come across, including demonstrations of how they work
with lots of subject-verb agreement examples.

What is subject-verb agreement?

Subject-verb agreement, also called “subject-verb concord,” refers to matching the subject and
verb of a sentence in tense, aspect, and mood (abbreviated as TAM), which translates to number,
person, and gender. 

4
English doesn’t use grammatical gender (except for pronouns), and only the verb be changes
based on whether it’s first, second, or third person. That means most English subject-verb
agreement is about quantity: if the subject is singular, the verb must be singular; if the subject is
plural, the verb must be plural. 

Even this can get confusing, though, because talking in the first-person singular (“I climb the
fence”) uses the same verb format as talking in the first-person plural (“We climb the fence”).
Aside from the verb be, subject-verb agreement in English adapts verbs to the third-person
singular (“It climbs the fence”). 

Usage and subject-verb agreement examples

Basically, most subjects except third-person singular use the standard form of a verb in the
present tense. 

The dogs roll in the mud. 

I need to catch my breath. 

You look like a celebrity! 

However, if the subject is third-person singular, you must use the singular form of the verb when
speaking in the present tense. Most of the time, this means adding an -s to the end of the verb. 

The dog rolls in the mud. 

She needs to catch her breath. 

He looks like a celebrity!

If the verb ends in -x, –ss, –sh, –ch, –tch, or –zz, you add –es to the end to match the third-person
singular. 

My snake hisses to say “I love you.” 

She only matches with creeps in online dating. 

If the verb ends in a consonant + y, remove the y and add –ies to match the third-person
singular. 

Atlas carries the world on his shoulders. 

The new drone flies higher than the old one. 

However, with words that end in a vowel + y, follow the normal format and add only –s to make
the third-person singular. 

5
My roommate stays in his bedroom from morning to night. 

With the exception of the verb be, these guidelines apply to irregular verbs as well as regular
verbs.  

Our father eats with the ferocity of a tiger. 

So why does the verb be have so many exceptions? The most common verb in English, be
doesn’t just represent a general state of existence; it’s also an auxiliary verb necessary for the
continuous tenses. 

In English, be is the only verb that changes based on the person. If you’re using the verb be,
alone or as part of a continuous tense, the subject-verb agreement rules require that you match
both the number and the person. Here’s a quick reminder of how to conjugate be in the
singular and plural of each person: 

Singular Plural
     First person (I) am (we) are
     Second person (you) are (you) are
     Third person (he/she/it) is (they) are

Considering how frequently be is used in English, it’s best to memorize this chart so you can
apply the proper subject-verb agreement instinctively. 

You are always welcome in our home. 

I am running a marathon tomorrow. 

It is raining even though it is sunny. 

If the subject-verb agreement rules seem complicated, there is some good news: the simple past
and simple future don’t change based on the number or person of the subject. Both singular
and plural subjects use the same form for those tenses. 

They will be here tomorrow. 

He will be here tomorrow. 

The potatoes grew overnight!

The potato grew overnight! 

The only exception is, again, the verb be, which changes between was and were based on the
subject in the simple past tense. 

6
I was young once.

We were young once. 

On the other hand, the perfect tenses change their auxiliary verb depending on the number of the
subject. Singular subjects use has, and plural subjects use have. 

They have not seen the movie yet, so no spoilers. 

She has not seen the movie yet, so no spoilers. 

That covers the basics for subject-verb agreement in English. Still, there are some particularly
difficult areas and more precise rules for special situations, which we explain below. 

Advanced subject-verb agreement rules

Here’s a list of some additional subject-verb agreement rules to clear up the more problematic
areas. If you’re still confused, review the subject-verb agreement examples to see how they
work. 

1 When using the negative form in the present tense, only the verb do needs to match the
subject. 

She does not like reading before bed. 

She likes reading before bed. 

2 Likewise, in questions that involve the word do, only do needs to match the subject. 

Do you know where the train station is? 

Does anyone know where the train station is? 

3 If the subject consists of multiple nouns joined by the conjunction and, treat the subject as
plural and use the plural form of the verb. 

Lucas and Maxine are in love!

Only Lucas is in love. 

However, some common phrases that form a single unit can act as singular. 

This bed and breakfast is delightful! 

4 If the subject consists of multiple singular nouns joined by or, treat the subject as singular. 

7
Penne or rigatoni works fine for the recipe. 

However, if the subject consists of multiple plural nouns joined by or, treat the subject as plural. 

Cats or dogs make good friends. 

If there’s a combination of singular and plural nouns joined by or, the verb follows the number
of the final one listed. 

The teacher or the students have to inform the principal. 

The students or the teacher has to inform the principal. 

5 If there is more than one active verb, as with compound predicates, all the verbs must agree
with the subject. 

After work, I go shopping, pick up the kids, cook dinner, and then relax for the night. 

6 Mass nouns, otherwise known as “uncountable nouns” or “noncount nouns,” act as singular
subjects. 

Love makes the world go around. 

7 Collective nouns can be either singular or plural, depending on whether they act together or
separately. 

[Together, singular] The team goes to practice at 4:00. 

[Separately, plural] The team go to their own homes after practice. 

8 Verbs used in alternative forms, such as gerunds, infinitives, or participles, do not need to
follow subject-verb agreement. However, the main verbs of the sentence still do. 

The coach makes running mandatory. 

The coaches make running mandatory. 

9 Unless you’re using an appositive or other descriptive phrase, do not put a comma between
subjects and verbs.

The holiday is becoming a total disaster. 

The holiday, which I was looking forward to, is becoming a total disaster. 

10 The words each and every count as singular when they’re used as the subject, even if they’re
followed by multiple nouns. 

8
Each window and door needs to be sealed. 

Every doctor, nurse, and technician gets free training here. 

11 Likewise, these words always act as singular subjects, even when they describe more than one
thing:

 anybody
 anyone
 either
 everybody
 everyone
 neither
 no one
 nobody
 somebody
 someone

Everybody loves using correct grammar! 

Either blue or green works for the wallpaper color. 

12 If additional phrases come between the subject and the verb, the verb must still agree with the
subject. These sentences can be tricky, so be careful. 

A group consisting of Professor Lidenbrock, the Icelandic guide Hans Bjelke, and the
professor’s nephew Axel departs for the volcano. 

Be particularly careful of subjects that use the phrase “one of . . . ” The word one is singular,
even when followed by plural nouns. 

One of the world’s leading scientists still has trouble speaking in public. 

13 In the active vs. passive voice debate, the verb in the passive voice still follows whatever
word acts as the subject. 

They pay the electric bill online. 

The electric bill is paid by them online. 

14 When choosing between “there is . . . ” and “there are . . . ,” the verb should match the
number of the noun that follows it. The same goes for sentences beginning with “here . . . ”

There is a new map in the DLC. 

There are new maps in the DLC. 

9
15 Similarly, words that indicate a portion, including percentages, use the number of the noun
they describe. This noun is typically the object of the phrase “of . . . ”

All of the book is ruined!

All of the books are ruined!

Some of the film is funny. 

Some of the films are funny. 

Fifty percent of the house is made of wood. 

Fifty percent of the houses are made of wood. 

16 When referring to distances, periods of time, or amounts of money—taken as a whole—use

the singular form of the verb. 

Twenty dollars is too much for IMAX! 

17 Be careful of nouns that exist only in the plural form; they sometimes act as singular. 

The news has been depressing lately. 

Politics is getting too combative. 

However, some of these nouns act as plural. 

The scissors do not work. 

If a plural noun is preceded by the word pair, treat the subject as singular because pair is
singular.  

The pair of scissors does not work. 

Subject-verb agreement FAQs

What is subject-verb agreement?

Subject-verb agreement is the grammatical rule that the subject and verb in a sentence should use
the same number, person, and gender. With the exception of the verb be, in English subject-verb
agreement is about matching the number. 

How does subject-verb agreement work?

10
In English, if a subject is singular, use the singular form of the verb; if the subject is plural, use
the plural form of the verb. The only exception to this rule is the verb be, which uses different
forms based on both number and person. 

What are examples of subject-verb agreement?

Look at these two sentences: “Cats make great pets” and “A cat makes a great pet.” The plural
subject cats uses the plural form of the verb without –s at the end (make). The singular subject a
cat uses the singular form of the verb with -s at the end (makes).

Sentence Parts
What are the Parts of the Sentence?
Within a sentence, there are three main parts that make up a
sentence: the
subject, the verb, and the complement.
1. Subject. The subject is either a noun or pronoun and answers the
question
"Who?" or “What?" before the verb. The subject performs action,
11
receives
action, or is in the state of being.
Ex: Jamie plays soccer.
2. Verb. The verb indicates whether the subject performs action,
receives action
or is in a state of being. The verb may include helping words called
auxiliaries.
Note: Any form of the verb be indicates the state of being when used
alone (is, am are, was, were).
Note: The verb usually comes after the subject, but in some cases it
precedes the subject. This occurs when a question is asked or when a
sentence begins with there or where.
3. Complement. Many sentences also contain a complement, which
completes
the meaning of the sentence and answers the questions "What?" or
"Whom?"
after the verb.
There are Three Types of Complements: the Direct Object, the
Predicate
Nominative, and the Predicate Adjective.
 A direct object is a noun or pronoun that completes the meaning of
the
sentence and answers "Whom?" or "What?" after the verb. It receives
the action of the verb; it never refers back to the subject. It can only
occur when the verb indicates action.
Ex: Jeremy hit the ball.
(what?)
 A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that completes the
meaning of a sentence and answers "Whom?" or "What?" after the
verb. It refers back to and renames the subject; it does not receive the
action of the verb. It can only occur when the verb indicates state of
being.
Ex: Jeremy is my teacher.
(who?) (what?)
 A predicate adjective completes the meaning of a sentence and
answers "What?" after the verb. It refers back to and describes the
subject; it does not receive the action of the verb. It can only occur
12
when the verb indicates state of being.
Ex: Jeremy is smart.
(what?)
Remember: Within a sentence, there are three main parts that make
up a
sentence: the subject, the verb, and the complement.

What Is A Pronoun? Types And Examples
Published September 30, 2021

 What Is A Pronoun?
 Common Types
 Singular And Plural Pronouns
 Reaching Pronoun Agreement
 Establishing Pronoun Reference
 Use Grammar Coach

Nouns do a lot of work in our sentences. They fulfill the important jobs of acting as subjects and
objects. Sometimes, though, a noun needs a break or there’s not a noun that perfectly suits a
sentence. When nouns need a helping hand, who are they going to call? No, not ghostbusters
(that’s still a noun)—they call on pronouns.

Pronouns can do all of the jobs that nouns do and many of them are shorter and more versatile.
Pronouns let us say things like I am proud of myself or It is time to ask somebody for help.
Pronouns are a major part of speech and correctly using them will drastically improve your
speech and writing.

What is a pronoun?
A pronoun is a word that can replace a noun in a sentence. The noun that is replaced by a
pronoun is called an antecedent. For example, in the sentence I love my dog because he is a good
boy, the word he is a pronoun that replaces the noun dog.

16
Generally speaking, pronouns allow us to shorten our sentences and make them sound less
repetitive. For example,

 The construction workers are building the office. The construction workers are making
good progress. The construction workers should finish the project in no time.
 The construction workers are building the office. They are making good progress. They
should finish the project in no time.

You can see that the second set of sentences is both shorter and sounds less repetitive than the
first set of sentences.

⚡️Pronoun quick tip

Grammatically, pronouns function much like nouns: they can be used both as subjects and
objects; they refer to people, places, and things; they can be singular or plural; and they can be
modified by adjectives. The “noun” in pronoun will help you remember that pronouns behave
much the same way that nouns do.

Singular and plural pronouns

Like nouns, pronouns can either be singular or plural.

Singular pronouns

Singular pronouns refer to a single person or thing. Like singular nouns, singular pronouns must
use singular verbs.

Singular pronoun examples

22
  I, he, she, it, one, this, someone, something, anyone, nobody

Singular pronouns used in sentences

 Melanie is so good at movie trivia that she never gets a single question wrong.
 Somebody is standing next to the window.
 This is the best cake I have ever eaten.

Plural pronouns

Plural pronouns refer to multiple people or things. Plural pronouns must use plural verbs.

Plural pronoun examples

 we, they, us, them, ourselves, themselves, those, these, many, several, others

Plural pronouns used in sentences

 We go to the gym every day.

 These paintings aren’t as old as those are.
 Several of the ducks know that children like to feed them bread.

How to reach pronoun agreement

When using a pronoun, it must agree in number with its antecedent. This means that a singular
noun can only be replaced by a singular pronoun, and a plural noun can only be replaced by a
plural pronoun. Take a look at the following two examples:

 The basketball rolled until it hit the door.

 The basketball rolled until they hit the door.

Of these two sentences, only the first one makes sense. We are only referring to a single
basketball, so we need to use a singular pronoun like it and not a plural pronoun like they. When
you are unsure about what kind of pronoun you need, think about what noun is being replaced
and use a pronoun that is of the same number.

There are a few things to keep in mind when considering pronoun agreement:

Firstly, the pronouns everyone, everybody, everything, and everywhere are treated as singular
pronouns even though they often refer to multiple people and things. For example, we would say
Everybody was hiding rather than Everybody were hiding.

Secondly, some pronouns can be used as either singular or plural. When we encounter these
pronouns in sentences, we usually rely on context to help us determine if they are singular or
plural. For example,

23
  You are my best friend. (Based on the singular word friend, we know that you is a
singular pronoun.)
 You are my best friends. (Based on the plural word friends, we know that you is a plural
pronoun.)

How to establish pronoun reference

When using a pronoun, it should be clear who or what the pronoun is referring to. When reading
or listening to a sentence, it should be easy to determine what a pronoun’s antecedent is. With
that in mind, here are some tips to help you out.

1. Use a noun first before replacing it with a pronoun:

❓ Unclear: After an exciting race, she narrowly won. She celebrated her victory.
✅ Clear: After an exciting race, Dasha narrowly won. She celebrated her victory.

2. Use an appropriate pronoun to refer to a person or a thing. For example, we don’t use the
pronoun it to refer to people, and we don’t use the pronoun someone to refer to an inanimate
object. For animals, we can use the pronoun it when we don’t know the animal’s sex.

❌ Incorrect: The trophy looked like he was brand new.

✅ Correct: The trophy looked like it was brand new.

Understanding Conjunctive Adverbs What Is An Adverb? Definition And Examples

6 Types Of Adverbs Used In The English

Language
Published August 24, 2021

 What is An Adverb?
 Types Of Adverbs
 Write With Grammar Coach

Adverbs are a major part of speech that we use to modify verbs, adjectives, clauses, and even
other adverbs. If you’ve studied grammar, you probably know that words like calmly,
everywhere, and soon are examples of adverbs. But did you know that there are different types of
adverbs? It’s true, and we are going to learn how versatile adverbs can be by learning more about
six common types of adverbs that we use all of the time.

What is an adverb?
An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, a clause, or another adverb. Adverbs
provide more information in a sentence by modifying another word. For example, the adverb
quickly in the sentence Jeremiah ran quickly tells us that Jeremiah ran with high speed. As
another example, the adverb really in the sentence The movie was really boring tells us that the
movie wasn’t just boring but that it was a colossal snooze-fest.

32
Different types of adverbs
Like other parts of speech such as nouns and verbs, there are several different types of adverbs.
For the most part, adverbs are usually separated by what kind of questions they answer or what
kind of information they provide to us. Right now, we are going to look at six common types of
adverbs:

 Conjunctive adverbs
 Adverbs of frequency
 Adverbs of time
 Adverbs of manner
 Adverbs of degree
 Adverbs of place

1. Conjunctive adverbs

Unlike the other types of adverbs we will look at, conjunctive adverbs play an important
grammatical role in sentences. Basically, a conjunctive adverb is an adverb that acts like a
conjunction; a conjunctive adverb is used to connect two clauses or two sentences together. For
example:

 I went to the store to buy new shoes. However, the store was already closed when I got
there.

33
In the second sentence, the conjunctive adverb however tells us that this sentence is related to the
one immediately before it. The adverb however acts like a conjunction by linking these two
sentences together.

We can also use conjunctive adverbs with a semicolon rather than a period:

 Tina wasn’t too confident about her answers; nevertheless, she passed the exam easily.

 Examples of conjunctive adverbs used in sentences

 Joey was playing in the sandbox. Meanwhile, his brother Noah was sleeping in a
hammock.
 Candy isn’t a healthy breakfast. Instead, you could eat fruit.
 Delilah is the most popular member of the band; therefore, her name is always first on
the posters.

Don’t fall behind on this topic. Instead, learn more about conjunctive adverbs.

2. Adverbs of frequency

A number of adverbs are used to describe the frequency of an event. By doing so, these adverbs
describe how often something happens.

Examples

 constantly, frequently, occasionally, sometimes, usually, never, always, rarely, daily,

weekly, monthly, yearly

Examples of adverbs of frequency used in sentences

 I usually put butter and syrup on my pancakes.

 She never drives on icy roads.
 Sometimes, Mark gets coffee for his coworkers.

3. Adverbs of time

Some adverbs tell us when something happens. Adverbs of time include words that refer to
specific times and more general time periods.

Examples

 today, yesterday, tomorrow, tonight, soon, later, now, eventually, forever, still, yet, early,
late, recently, since

Examples of adverbs of time used in sentences

34
  We are going to see a movie tomorrow.
 My daughter hasn’t learned how to tie her shoes yet.
 Recently, Trevor got a job as a construction worker.

4. Adverbs of manner

Adverbs of manner tell us how something happens. A huge number of adverbs fall under this
type and many of the  -ly adverbs formed from adjectives fit into this group.

Examples

 angrily, cautiously, hungrily, nicely, slowly, deftly, precisely, unknowingly, loudly

Examples of adverbs of manner used in sentences

 The clown skillfully made animals out of balloons.

 She bravely rescued a kitten from a tree.
 Natalie wisely took an extra umbrella with her.

5. Adverbs of degree

Generally, adverbs of degree describe the intensity of an action or quality. These adverbs are
often used as intensifiers to describe adjectives and other adverbs.

Examples

 very, really, extremely, incredibly, too, quite, barely, deeply, fairly, greatly, hardly,
highly, intensely, somewhat, totally, little, less, least, much, more, most

Examples of adverbs of degree used in sentences

 It is really hot in the basement.

 That book is much too expensive.
 He barely knew how to cook at all.

6. Adverbs of place

Adverbs of place tell us where something happens.

Examples

 here, there, everywhere, nowhere, somewhere, anywhere, in, out, inside, outside,
wherever, on, off, over, under, away, left, right, north, south, east, west

Examples of adverbs of place used in sentences

35
  I can’t find my keys anywhere.
 She loves to spend sunny afternoons outside by the pool.
 The lost travelers went north until they found a small town.

You might discuss place with a prepositional phrase as well. Learn more about them here.

A conjunction is a word used to connect words, phrases and clauses.

Common examples of conjunctions include and, but and or, although there are many other
possibilities (including although). The three main types of conjunctions are coordinating,
correlative and subordinating.

Types of conjunctions:

Coordinating conjunctions join words, phrases and independent clauses. Examples include: and,
but, for, nor, or, so and yet. 

Correlative conjunctions join words and phrases that have fairly equivalent weight in a sentence.
They appear in pairs, such as either/or, neither/nor, and not only/but also. Here's an example: 

E-business is business conducted online, not only buying and selling but also serving
customers and collaborating with business partners.

62
Subordinating conjunctions join independent clauses to dependent clauses and indicate which is
the main clause and which is subordinate. Examples include after, although, as, because, before,
if, once, since, than, that, though, till, until, when, where, whether, while and yet. The main
clause may be first in the sentence or second. The subordinate clause follows the subordinate
conjunction so the main clause is emphasized. 

In the following sentence, for example, the emphasis is on the second clause: 

Although  women make up half of the U.S. workforce, they account for only 28% of core IT
occupations.

What is conjunction?

A word that is used to join two other words, two clauses, or two sentences is known as
conjunction. Some common conjunctions are and, but, still, either, neither and yet etc.

Use of conjunctions in daily used sentences.

63
Both she and her mother are beautiful.

Work hard otherwise you will fail.

She was ill; so she will not go to school.

1. Cumulative or Compulative conjunctions

2. Disjunctive or Alternative conjunctions
