The Conjunction:
A conjunction is a word that joins words or groups of words together.
There are three types of conjunctions:
1. Coordinating Conjunctions:
And-or-but-nor-for-yet-so
2. Correlative Conjunctions:
Either/or- neither/nor- both/and- not only/but also
3. Subordinating Conjunctions:
These are used to introduce adverb clauses. An adverb clause is a group of words that has its own
subject and verb but does not express a complete thought and cannot stand alone as a sentence. It also
would modify as an adverb in the sentence, telling about a verb, adjective, or adverb. There is also such
a thing as an adjective clause. An adjective clause does not begin with any type of conjunction, but
begins instead with a relative pronoun. Look in the pronoun section of these notes to see a list of these
words that begin adjective clauses.
