CONJUCTION
CONJUCTION ARE WORDS USED AS JOINERS
DIFFERENT KINDS OF CONJUCTIONS JOIN DIFFERENT
KINDS OF GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURES.
KINDS OF CONJUCTONS: COORDINATING
CONJUCTION, CORRELATIVE CONJUCTION
CONJUNCTIVE ADVERBS, SUBORDINATING
CONJUCTION.
COORDINATING CONJUCTIONS
(FOR, AND, NOR, BUT, YET, SO)
JOIN EQUALS TO ONE ANOTHER:
WORDS TO WORDS
PHRASES TO PHRASES
CLAUSES TO CLAUSES
EXAMPLES:
WORDS TO WORDS : MOST CHILDREN LIKE COOKIES AND MILK
PHRASE TO PHRASE: THE GOLD IS HIDDEN AT THE BEACH OR
BY THE LAKESIDE
CLAUSE TO CLAUSE: WHAT YOU SAY AND WHAT YOU DO ARE
TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
COORDINATING CONJUCTIONS USUALLY FORM LOOSER
CONNECTIONS THAN OTHER COJUNCTION DO
EXAMPLE :
MARGE WAS LATE TO WORK, AND SHE RECEIVED A CUT IN PAY
(VERY LOOSE)
MARGE WAS LATE FOR WORK, SO SHE RECEIVED A CUT IN PAY
(LOOSE)
BECAUSE MARGE WAS LATE FOR WORK, SHE RECEIVED A CUT IN
PAY
(THE SUBORDINATE CONJUCTION BECAUSE CREATES A TIGHTER
LINK BETWEEN THE TWO IDEAS)
COORDINATING CONJUNCTION GO IN BETWEEN ITEMS
JOINED, NOT AT THE BEGINNING OR END
EXAMPLE:
CORRECT: I LIKE COFFEE, BUT I DONT LIKE TEA.
INCORRECT: BUT I DONT LIKE TEA, I LIKE COFFEE.
PUNCTUATION WITH
COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS
WHEN A COORDINATING CONJUNCTION JOIN TWO
WORDS, PHRASES, OR SUBORDINATE CLAUSES
CREATES A SERIES AND REQUIRES COMMAS
BETWEEN THE ELEMENTS.
EXAMPLES:
WORDS:
PEANUTS, COOKIES AND MILK
PHRASES: IN THE MOUNTAINS, AT THE BEACH, OR BY THE
LAKESIDE
SUBORDINATE CLAUSES: WHAT YOU THINK, WHAT YOU SAY, AND
WHAT YOU DO
A COORDINATING CONJUNCTION JOINING TWO INDEPENDENT
CLAUSES CREATES A COMPOUND SENTENCE AND REQUIRES
A COMMA BEFORE THE COORDINATING CONJUNCTION.
EXAMPLES:
TOM ATE ALL THE PEANUTS, SO PHIL ATE THE COOKIES
I DONT CARE FOR THE BEACH, BUT I ENJOY A GOOD VACATION IN THE
MOUNTAINS.

SUBOEDINATING CONJUNCTIONS ALSO JOIN TWO CLAUSES
TOGETHER, BUT IN DOING SO, THEY MAKE ONE CLAUSE
DEPENDENT (OR SUBORDINATE) UPON THE OTHER
EXAMPLE :
IT IS RAINING
SENTENCES
BOTH ARE INDEPENDENT CLAUSES, SIMPLE
WE HAVE AN UMBRELLAH
ADD BECAUSE TO IT IS RAINING
BECAUSE IT IS RAINING
SENTENCE
THIS IS NO LONGER AN INDEPENDENT CLAUSE OR
PUT THE TWO CLAUSES
BECAUSE IT IS RAINING
WE HAVE AN UMBRELLA BECAUSE IT IS RAINING
A SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTION MAY APPEAR AT A SENTENCE BEGINNING OR
BETWEEN TWO CLAUSES IN A SENTENCE
A SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTION USUALLY PROVIDES A
TIGHTER CONNECTION BETWEEN CLAUSES THAN A
COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS DOES
LOOSE: IT IS RAINING SO WE HAVE AN UMBRELLA
TIGHT: BECAUSEIT IS RAINING, WE HAVE AN UMBRELLA
