A word that joins two parts of a sentence

Conjunctions

The word which joins two parts of a sentence is called a conjunction.

It is one of the important parts of speech. It joins two or more sentences, phrases and independent clauses.

Types of Conjunctions

There are three types of conjunctions

• Coordinating Conjunctions
• Subordinating Conjunctions
• Correlative Conjunctions

Coordinating Conjunctions

Coordinating Conjunctions are used to join short sentences converting them into fuller lines. There are seven Coordinating Conjunctions and all of them are very easy to remember if you just keep in mind the acronym “FANBOYS”

Subordinating Conjunctions

It always introduces a dependent clause and connects it with an independent clause. In contrast to coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions can come first in the sentence because of the nature of relationship between dependent and independent clause. Below is a table listed giving you the examples of Subordinating Conjunctions.

Correlative Conjunctions

They come in pair and relate one sentence to another with suitable conjunction. Correlative conjunctions connect two equal grammatical terms. So, if a noun follows “both,” then a noun should also follow “and.”
