| What is conjunction | Conjunction is a word which is used to connect different clauses or sentences or are used to coordinate words in the same clause |
| 3 types -COORDINATING CONJUNCTION. -SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTION. -CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTION. | Coordinating :These join the elements that are the same. Coordination conjunction words are only seven and people remember them by an acronym FANBOYS, i.e. (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So). subordinating:It joins the dependent adverb clause with the independent clause. Understand it this way, instead of joining two independent clauses of equal importance, Subordinating conjunction words make one clause less important than another. correlative:These work in pairs to join two clauses or sentences.eg-Either you cook me lunch, or I leave. |
| Example of conjunction | -She is good at both cooking and dancing. - If we leave now, we can be home by 11 p.m. -He couldn’t be taken before a magistrate for punishment. -Neither her friends nor relatives joined for the party. -The legendary dancer is also interested in folk music. |
| Rule 1. The conjunction so/as and as/ as is used to make a comparison. But, so/as is used in negative sentences whereas as/as can be used for both negative and affirmative sentences. | Example: -As you behave so you have to bear. -She is not as beautiful as you/ She is as beautiful as you. |
| The conjunction Both is always followed by the conjunction and. | Example: -Both Rajat and Meera went for shopping -She is both pretty and intelligent. |
| The conjunction Rather/Other is followed by Than. | Examples: You have no other option than to go back to school. |
| When more than two persons or things are involved, then (none of/ one of) is used instead of (neither/either) | Examples: One of the employees complained about the manager. |
| The conjunction From is followed by to and Between is followed by and. | Examples: It is difficult to choose between gold and silver |
| The conjunction doubt/doubtful is followed by that in negative or interrogative sentences whereas in affirmative sentences these are followed by if or whether. | Example: He doubts if he can come to drop you. |
| Always use the correct pair of conjunctions. Like not only with but also and more. Hardly__ when or before No sooner__than Barely__when or before Scarcely__when or before | Examples: No sooner had he finished his speech than the audience applauded. |
| Unless and Until is negative words. Unless is action-oriented while Until is time-oriented. Remember, do not use the words (never, not, no) with the clause containing until and unless words. | Example: The father asked his daughter to wait until he returned. |
| The conjunction Though/Although is always followed by a comma(,) or yet. | Examples: Though She put in a lot of effort, she didn’t crack the exam. |
