Background Information
LESSON 2: Composing Clear and Coherent Sentences Using Conjunctions
Conjunctions are words used to connect words, phrases, or clauses.
KINDS OF CONJUNCTIONS
1. Coordinating Conjunctions
 These are used in connecting two independent clauses and to show
similar ideas.
 The most common coordinating conjunctions are for, and, nor, but, or,
yet, and so. You can remember them by using the mnemonic device
FANBOYS.
Ex. The players ran around the court and threw some baskets afterwards.

a. and– to connect all the element in a series

Ex. Basketball, badminton, and swimming are still the most favored
sports of my friends.

b. but, yet- to show contrasting ideas (other conjunctions with the same
function are nevertheless, on the other hand, and on the contrary.
Ex. She wants to dance but her parents don’t want her to join.

c. or– to show a choice between ideas

Ex. The victim could file a case against him or ignore the incident totally.

2. Subordinating Conjunctions
 These connect clauses of unequal rank. These conjunctions join a
dependent clause to an independent clause.

although before than whenever

as if finally though whether
as soon if till where
as though in order that unless while
because so that when

Ex. When you have a bad cold, you rest and sleep.
3. Correlative Conjunctions
 These connect similar words or group of words. They work in pairs.
either…or neither…nor whether…or
not only…but also both…and

Ex. a. Neither the blue shirt nor the white one fits the occasion.
b. This story is not only a movie material but also a contest piece.
