Conjunctions - Functions

- Coordinating conjunctions are used to join two parts of a sentence that are
grammatically equal. The two parts may be single in clauses.
1) Amariah and Azham are getting married next month (noun and noun)
2) They ran and laughed together (verb and verb)
3) The water was warm but I didn't go swimming (clauses and clause)
- Subordinating conjunctions are used to join a subordinate dependent clause to
a main clause for example:I went swimming although it was cold.

Interjections
- An interjections is a word added to a sentence to convey emotion.
It is not grammatically related to any other part of the sentence.
- They are the least used part of speech.
- Interjections functions independently from the rest of the sentence.
- It is therefore set off from the rest of the sentence by a comma or exlamation
mark.
Example
- By a comma
- Oh, the exam was easy
- By exclamation point
- Common interjuctions
- Wow, Oh, Ouch, Uh, Alas, Woah, Oops,
