Monday - Conjunctions

What is a conjunction? What is their purpose? What conjunctions do you know? There are two types o conjunctions: Coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or) Subordinating conjunctions (when, if, that, because)

Coordinating Conjunctions

• Conjunctions are joining words that link together parts of a
• sentence. The three main coordinating conjunctions are ‘and’,

‘but’ and ‘or’.

• They can be used to join together two clauses in a sentence.

However, the clauses need to make sense on their own.

• A conjunction is a word, or words, used to connect two clauses
• together. Words such as: ‘that', 'because’ ‘if’ or 'when’ .
