D. Giving of the Language Point or Focus Point

Conjunctions are words used to connect other words or group of words. There are
three types of conjunctions, these are the coordinators, subordinators and correlatives.
Coordinating conjunctions may connect two subjects, two predicates, two objects, two phrases
or even two simple sentences. ( Please see copy of the lesson at the back….)

And or likewise
Moreover nor similarly
Further more also
In addition besides
2. Casual (signal cause/effect, reason/result)
Because due to thus
As in view of in order that
In as much as a consequence hence
So consequently so that
Since therefore
3. Adversative (signals conflict, contradictions, concession)
But however nevertheless
While whereas yet
Although thought even though
Despite this
4. Sequential (signals a chronological or logical sequence)
First… second next finally
Before eventually then
After afterward lastly
