INTRODUCTION

a. Background of the problem

English has become an international language, meaning the language used throughout
the world and as a liaison language between countries. Therefore, like it or not, anyone
who wants to be successful must master this language. Moreover, facing international free
trade competition, where the trade market between countries becomes more open, so that
foreigners will be more free to enter and exit a country. With mastery of the English
language, of course, it will be very helpful to communicate if there are citizens of other
countries visiting our area. This time we will discuss about conjunctions (connecting
words).

b. Problem Formulation

a. What is a conjunction, formula and how? for example?

b. How to use conjunctions?

c. Purpose of Writing

a. To find out conjunctions, formulas and examples.

b. To know the use of conjunctions

CONJUCTION

a. Defenition of Conjuction

Conjunctions are conjunctions that connect parts of speech in sentences: words with
words, phrases with phrases, or clauses with clauses that have an equal or similar
position. These equivalent words can be in the form of relationships between nouns and
nouns, adverbs with adverb, adjective with adjective, verb with verb, also phrase with
phrase, and clause with clause (Ahangar, 2012).

Example:

 We could go to the library, or we could go to the park.

 He neither finished his homework nor studied for the test.
 I went out because the sun was shining.

There are three kinds of conjunction forms:

 Single Word, for example: and, but, because, although, or.

 Compound (usually ending in as or that), for example: as long as, inorder that, etc.
 Correlative, for example: so…that, both…and, neither…nor, etc.

There are three types of conjunctions, namely: coordinating conjunctions (simple

conjunctions), correlative conjunctions, and subordinating conjunctions. Besides these
three types, there are adverbs that are used as conjunctions, namely conjunctive adverbs

Understanding the use of conjunctions and the relationship between clauses is

important for recognizing each part of a complete sentence. There are four main uses of
conjunctions, namely: adding information (adding information), showing cause and effect
(showing cause and effect), showing a time sequence (showing time sequence), and
differentiating or comparing information with one another (contrasting one piece of
information). with another)

Knowing the pattern of conjunctions is very helpful in exploring ideas or main ideas related
to the entire text in sentences and between sentences.

b. Defenition of Coordinate Conjuction

A coordinating conjunction is a word that joins two elements of equal grammatical rank
and syntactic importance. They can join two verbs, two nouns, two adjectives, two
phrases, or two independent clauses. The seven coordinating conjunctions are for, and,
nor, but, or, yet, and so.

Of these seven, so can be used as both a coordinating conjunction and a subordinating

conjunction. As a coordinating conjunction, so can link two independent clauses in a
manner similar to therefore, and as a subordinating conjunction, it can link two unequal
clauses (one independent clause and one dependent clause) in the sense of so that.
 c. Use of Conjunction

Conjunction or connector or conjunction is a word used to connect/combine words with

other words, phrases with other phrases, or clauses with other clauses. There are 3 types
of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, and subordinating
conjunctions

d. Types of Coordinate Conjuction

The English language has seven coordinating conjunctions. They're easy to remember

if you can just remember the acronym

 For: Explains a Reason

The first coordinating conjunction in FANBOYS is “For.” It explains a reason or

purpose (just like "because"), typically with two independent clauses. For example:

 I go to the park every Sunday, for I long to see his face.

 Juanita eats healthy, for she wants to stay in shape.
 My husband sent me flowers, for he loves me.
 Let’s not fight about the past, for today is a new day.

“For” can be confusing because it can also be a preposition (such as in “I bought

this gift for you”). But when it’s used to explain why something is happening, it’s a
coordinating conjunction.

 And: Joins Two Ideas

The second coordinating conjunction in FANBOYS, “And,” adds one thing to

another. It can be used to join two nouns, two verbs, two adjectives, two phrases, or
two independent clauses. Examples of “and” in a sentence include:

 I like to read, and I write in my journal every night.

 You should invite Mario and Estefan to the party.
 Melody looks beautiful and grown-up in her prom dress.
 The puppies run and jump when their owner comes home.

“And” is one of the most common coordinating conjunctions in English. Notice how
it connects two of the same part of speech or two clauses with equal importance.

 Nor: Presents a Second Negative Idea

“Nor” is the third coordinating conjunction in FANBOYS. It’s used to present a

second negative idea to join a negative idea in the first clause. “Nor” is less common than
other coordinating conjunctions, but still joins two (negative) ideas together.

 My sister doesn’t like to study, nor does she take notes in class.

 Our family hasn’t been to New York, nor have we been to Florida.
  Braxton didn’t do his chores, nor did he finish his homework.
 King Henry was not the ruler of France, nor did he reign over Spain.

When using “nor,” you reverse the verb order in the second clause (such as in “nor
does she take notes” instead of “nor she does take notes.”). “Nor” is often used after
“neither” (such as “I neither hate nor love to watch TV”) as a correlative conjunction, which
is a pair of conjunctions that join ideas.

 But: Introduces an Opposing Idea

The fourth FANBOYS coordinating conjunction is “But.” It shows contrast between

two words, phrases or ideas of equal importance. Examples of “but” in a sentence are:

 Television is a wonderful escape, but it interferes with my writing.

 We would love to attend the birthday party, but we have plans that day.
 I was going to earn an A in Math, but I failed the final test.
 My grandfather earned an award, but he never got to accept it.

When “but” is used for the same meaning as “except” (as in “Everyone but me was
invited”), it’s a preposition, not a conjunction. “But” is only a conjunction when the clauses
on either side express opposite ideas.

 Or: Shows an Alternative

“Or,” the fifth coordinating conjunction in FANBOYS, presents an alternative or a

choice. Like “and,” it can be used between two of the same part of speech as well as two
phrases or clauses. For example:

 Would you rather read a book or watch a good TV show?

 I can’t decide if I should study economics or political science.
 We could have dinner before the movie, or we could grab a bite afterward.
 Do you prefer to go to bed early or to stay up late?

Like “nor,” you can use “or” as a correlative conjunction. It joins with “either” (as in
“Either you get in the car now or we’ll be late”) as a conjunction pair to connect opposing
ideas. Unlike “neither/nor,” “either/or” connects positive ideas.

 Yet: Adds a Contrasting Idea

“Yet” is the sixth coordinating conjunction in FANBOYS. It introduces a contrasting

idea that follows the preceding idea logically. Some example sentences include:

 I always take a book to the beach, yet I never seem to turn a single page.
 I really want a kitten, yet my mom says we have too many cats.
 The students like their teacher, yet they wish he graded more fairly.
 Pearl would like to make pasta, yet she’s also in the mood for a sandwich.
 “But” and “yet” seem interchangeable, and they almost are. “But” brings a tone of
finality into a sentence (“I’d love to ice skate, but I don’t know how”) while “yet” implies that
an action may be able to change in the future (“I’d love to ice skate, yet I don’t know
how.”). Grammatically, you can use one for the other, but the shift in tone makes it worth
your time to choose the right word.

 So: Indicates a Result or Effect

The final FANBOYS coordinating conjunction is “So.” It indicates an effect, result or

consequence from an action in the earlier clause. For example:

 I like to read, so I didn’t mind the long reading assignment.

 The grocery store was closed, so we went to the farmer’s market instead.
 Our car won’t start, so we called a mechanic.
 A baby bird fell out of its nest, so we took care of it.

“So” can also be used as an adverb, as in “I am so tired.” But it’s not linking two
words or ideas together in this case; it’s modifying the word “tired.” Make sure you know
how the word is functioning in a sentence before determining its part of speech.
 CHAPTER III
CLOSING

A. Conclusion
From this paper, it can be concluded that Conjunctions are
conjunctions that connect parts of speech in sentences: words with words, phrases
with phrases, or clauses with clauses that have an equal or similar position. These
equivalent words can be in the form of a relationship between a noun and a noun,
an adverb with an adverb, an adjective with an adjective, a verb with a verb, also a
phrase with a phrase, and a clause with a clause.
There are three types of conjunctions, namely: coordinating
conjunctions (simple conjunctions), correlative conjunctions, and subordinating
conjunctions. Besides these three types, there are adverbs that are used as
conjunctions, namely conjunctive adverbs. Conjunction or or connector is a word
used to connect/combine words with other words, phrases with other phrases, or
clauses with other clauses. There are 3 types of conjunctions: coordinating
conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, and subordinating conjunctions.
Coordinating conjunctions are used to join words with other words,
join phrases with other phrases, or sentences with other sentences. Connected by
this type of conjunction must be elements of the same sentence, for example:
subject + subject, verb phrase + verb phrase, sentence + sentence. Paired
conjunctions/Correlative conjunctions also combine sentence elements as above.
The difference is that they are always used in pairs.
Subordinating conjunctions are words that can be used to form an
adverbial clause (which is generally a subordinate clause) of the main clause.
Conjunctions or connecting words function to connect words with groups of words
or groups of words in a sentence. Conjunctions can be divided into two kinds,
namely coordinating conjunctions (equivalent conjunctions) and subordinate
conjunctions or graded conjunctions.
