Conjunctions
What is a Conjunction?
• A conjunction is like glue. It helps things
to stick together.
• A conjunction joins words, phrases, and

sentences, which are called CLAUSES.
There Are 3 Types of
Conjunctions
1. Coordinating Conjunctions
2. Subordinating Conjunctions
3. Correlative Conjunctions

Definition and Example Definition and Example Definition and Example

• Conjunctions join two or more words.
Example: I went to the store to buy eggs,

milk, and bread.
• Conjunctions can join two prepositional
phrases.
Ex. I went skiing down the hill and past the

trees.
• Conjunctions can connect two clauses or
sentences.
• When two sentences are joined, a comma
MUST be placed before the conjunction.
Ex. I played cards for awhile, but then I

played chess.
• One type of conjunction is the
COORDINATING CONJUNCTION.
• They connect words, phrases, and
clauses, which are sentences.
• They connect things of equal value.
(This means that they would connect a noun with
another noun or a prepositional phrase with another
prepositional phrase.)
• There are seven coordinating
conjunctions: Use FANBOYS to remember
for and nor but
or yet so
• Coordinating conjunctions affect the
meaning of your sentence.
• “And” connects things that are alike or
joined together.
• Ex. I want popcorn and pizza.
• “But” is used to connect things that are
different or separated.
• Ex. I want popcorn but not pizza.
• “Or” is used to offer a choice.
• Ex. Do I want popcorn or pizza?
• “Nor” is used to offer a negative choice.
• Ex. I do not want popcorn nor pizza.
• “Yet” is used to show a change. When it is
used to combine two sentences, you must
put a comma before it.
• Ex. I want popcorn, yet I also want pizza.
• “So” is used to show a relationship
between things. When it is used to
combine two sentences, you must put a
comma before it.
• Ex. I want popcorn, so I made some.
• “For” is also used to show a relationship
between things. When it is used to
combine two sentences, you must put a
comma before it.
• Ex. I ordered a pizza, for I was hungry.
• Another Type of Conjunction is a
SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTION.
A subordinating conjunction-
-Connects a dependent clause (a clause that cannot be
written as a separate sentence) with an independent
clause.
IF, WHILE, BECAUSE, ALTHOUGH, AFTER, BEFORE,
UNLESS, WHEN, UNTIL, SINCE, THEN, AS
• We celebrated after we won the game.
• Because our train was delayed, we arrived late.
• Watson listened quietly while Holmes explained his
theory.
• Another type of conjunction is called
CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTIONS.
• Correlative conjunctions connect words,
phrases, and clauses, which are sentences.
• Correlative conjunctions connect things of equal
value.
(This means that they will connect a verb with
another verb or a sentence with another
sentence.)
• Correlative Conjunctions are not single words.
They work in pairs.
• There are five pairs of correlative conjunctions:
both….and whether….or neither….nor
not only….but also either….or

Examples of Correlative

I saw both the Statue of Liberty and the
Empire State Building.

What is an Interjection?
• An interjection is something that interrupts
a sentence.
• It is something that also expresses your
emotions like happiness, fear, anger, or
pain.
• Some examples of interjections are:
ouch, wow, uh oh, oh no, gosh,
shhhh
Punctuating Interjections
• If an interjection is spoken calmly, simply
put a comma after it and continue the
sentence.
Ex. Shhh, the baby is sleeping.
Ex. Oh my, I dropped my pencil.

Punctuating Interjections
• If an interjection is spoken with more
emotion, it is followed by an exclamation
point. The next word is then capitalized.
Ex. Ouch! I just cut my finger.
Ex. He scored the winning touchdown.

Wow!
