CONJUNCTION AND PASSIVE VOICE
1. CONJUNCTION
● Definition
Conjunction is a word that has a function as a connector between words and words, phrases
and phrases and clauses with clauses.
2. Correlative, for example: so ... that, both ... and, neither ... nor, etc.
3. Compound (usually ending in as or that), for example: as long as, in order that, etc.
● Conjunction Type
1. Coordinating Conjunction
Commonly used conjunction conjunctions include and, both .... and, also, not
only .. but also, as well as, and no less than.
Example :
Example : You can take either the white candy or the red one.
The connecting words used include but, still, yet, nevertheless, however, where as, and
while.
d. Shows Conclusions
The connecting words used are so, so then, then, for, and therefore.
2. Correlative Conjunctions
Example: Not only am I finished studying for English, but I'm also finished writing my
history essay. I am finished with both my English essay and my history essay.
3. Subordination Conjunctions
Is a conjunction that is connected between clauses and main sentences. This means
that if you do not use conjunctions, then one sentence will be difficult to relate to it
standing alone. Among them are: After, Before, Is, As, How, Then, Where, Although,
Since, Though, When, Because, Until, etc.
Example:
The proposal will never be approved until the requirements are met.
2. PASSIVE VOICE
A. Definition
Passive voice is a form of sentence where the subject of the sentence takes action, not
takes action. Unlike active voice which focuses on the party doing the action (doer of action),
this form focuses more on the party or object that receives the result of an action (receiver of
action).
B. Function
Passive sentences or more often we hear in a passive voice are used to show interest
in someone or an object that is subjected to an action and not a person or object carrying out
the action. In other words the most important things or people will be the subject of the
sentence.
Example : “The road is being repaired”. (= we are interested in the path, not in who did the
repair.)
