Let’s Review . . .The conjunction is the seventh of the eight parts of
speech. Just for the record, here are all eight:
• Noun• Pronoun• Adjective• Verb• Adverb• Preposition• Conjunction• Interjection
First, let's start with a basic definition: Conjunctions are words that join words or
groups of words.
There are two main types:coordinating conjunctionssubordinating conjunctions
Coordinating conjunctions include:
• And• Or• But• For• Nor
These conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses of equal value.
Let’s practice . . .
Write 3 sentences that include coordinating conjunctions.
Do they connect words, phrases, and clauses of equal value?
Independent Clauses:Clauses of equal value are called independent clauses and
can stand on their own as separate sentences.
Example:John is running in this race and I am carrying his water
bottle.
Each clause can stand alone:John is running in this race.I am carrying his water bottle.
Double check your sentences - conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses of equal value.
Subordinating conjunctions:
Subordinating conjunctions introduce dependent clauses.
Dependent clauses cannot stand alone as a single sentence.
In fact, the clause is dependent on the rest of the sentence for its meaning.
Dependent Clauses:Dependent Clauses cannot stand alone as a single sentence.The clause is dependent on the rest of the sentence for its
meaning.
Example:Since I will not be home, Tina will answer the phone.
"Since I will not be home" doesn't make sense by itself.It is dependent on the rest of the sentence for its meaning.
Most commonly used subordinating conjunctions include:
• Although *When• Because *Before• As *If• While• Until• Whether• Since• After• So that
Subordinating Conjunctions
