English Grammar English language

Parts of Speech: English words are categorized into different parts of speech, including nouns, verbs,
adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections.
1. Sentences: A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought. It typically consists of a
subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject is doing or what is being
said about the subject). Sentences can be simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex.
2. Subject-Verb Agreement: The subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number (singular or
plural). For example, "She sings" (singular subject) versus "They sing" (plural subject).
3. Tenses: Verbs change form to indicate time, such as past, present, and future. Common tenses include
simple present, simple past, simple future, present continuous, past continuous, future continuous,
present perfect, past perfect, future perfect, present perfect continuous, past perfect continuous, and
future perfect continuous.
4. Punctuation: Punctuation marks like periods, commas, question marks, exclamation points, colons,
semicolons, apostrophes, quotation marks, and hyphens are used to clarify meaning and indicate pauses
or breaks in writing.
5. Capitalization: Rules for capitalizing words include capitalizing the first word in a sentence, proper
nouns (names of specific people, places, and things), and the pronoun "I."
6. Modifiers: Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns, while adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other
adverbs. It's important to place modifiers correctly in a sentence to avoid ambiguity.
7. Articles: English has two types of articles: "the" (definite article) and "a/an" (indefinite articles). "The"
is used to refer to specific nouns, while "a/an" is used to refer to non-specific nouns.
8. Conjunctions: Conjunctions are words used to connect clauses or sentences. Common conjunctions
include "and," "but," "or," "nor," "for," "so," and "yet."
9. Prepositions: Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other
words in a sentence. Common prepositions include "in," "on," "at," "by," "with," "to," "from," "over,"
"under," "between," and "among."

1. NOUNS
Nouns are one of the fundamental parts of speech in English grammar. They are words that represent people,
places, things, or ideas. Here are some key points about nouns:
Types of Nouns:
 Common Nouns: General names for people, places, or things, like "dog," "city," or "book."
 Proper Nouns: Specific names for people, places, or things, like "John," "Paris," or "The Great
Gatsby." Proper nouns are always capitalized.
 Concrete Nouns: Nouns that refer to tangible objects that can be perceived through the senses,
such as "table," "tree," or "apple."
 Abstract Nouns: Nouns that refer to ideas, concepts, or qualities that cannot be perceived
through the senses, like "love," "happiness," or "freedom."
Countable and Uncountable Nouns:
 Countable Nouns: Nouns that can be counted and have both singular and plural forms, such as
"book" (singular) and "books" (plural).
 Uncountable Nouns: Nouns that cannot be counted individually, like "water," "sand," or
"information." They are usually treated as singular and do not have a plural form.
Noun Phrases:
 A noun phrase consists of a noun and any associated modifiers (such as articles, adjectives, or
other nouns) that function together as a single unit. For example, in the phrase "the big red car,"
"car" is the noun, while "the," "big," and "red" are modifiers.
Function in Sentences:
 Nouns can function as subjects, objects, or complements in sentences. For example:
 Subject: "The cat chased the mouse."
 Object: "She gave him a book."
 Complement: "He is a doctor."

Possessive Nouns:
 Nouns can show possession or ownership by adding an apostrophe and an "s" ('s) or just an
apostrophe (') at the end of the noun. For example, "John's car" or "the company's policies."

2. VERBS
Verbs are another essential part of speech in English grammar. They are words that express actions, events, or
states of being. Here are some key points about verbs:
Types of Verbs:
Action Verbs:
 Verbs that express physical or mental actions, such as "run," "eat," "think," or "write."
Linking Verbs:
 Verbs that connect the subject of a sentence with a noun, pronoun, or adjective that renames or
describes the subject, such as "is," "am," "are," "was," "were," "seem," or "become."
Helping Verbs (Auxiliary Verbs):
 Verbs that accompany the main verb in a sentence to express tense, mood, or voice, such as
"will," "can," "may," "might," "shall," "should," "must," "could," "would," "ought to," etc.
Verb Agreement:
 Verbs must agree with their subjects in number and person. For example, "He runs" (singular
subject) versus "They run" (plural subject).
Modal Verbs:
 Modal verbs express necessity, possibility, permission, ability, or obligation. Common modal
verbs include "can," "could," "may," "might," "must," "shall," "should," "will," "would," and
"ought to."
Verb Phrases:
 A verb phrase consists of a main verb and any accompanying auxiliary (helping) verbs. For
example, in the sentence "She is singing," "is singing" is the verb phrase, with "is" being the
auxiliary verb and "singing" being the main verb.

3. ADJECTIVES
Adjectives are words that modify or describe nouns or pronouns by providing more information about their
qualities or characteristics. Here are some key points about adjectives:
Types of Adjectives:
Descriptive Adjectives:
 These adjectives provide information about the qualities or characteristics of nouns. For
example, in the phrase "a beautiful flower," "beautiful" is a descriptive adjective that describes
the flower.
Demonstrative Adjectives:
 These adjectives point out specific nouns and include words like "this," "that," "these," and
"those." For example, in the phrase "this book," "this" is a demonstrative adjective.
Possessive Adjectives:
 These adjectives show possession or ownership and include words like "my," "your," "his,"
"her," "its," "our," and "their." For example, in the phrase "her car," "her" is a possessive
adjective.
Quantitative Adjectives:
 These adjectives indicate the quantity or number of nouns and include words like "one," "two,"
"some," "many," "few," "each," "every," and "several." For example, in the phrase "three
apples," "three" is a quantitative adjective.
Interrogative Adjectives:
 These adjectives are used to ask questions about nouns and include words like "which," "what,"
and "whose." For example, in the phrase "which book," "which" is an interrogative adjective.
Indefinite Adjectives:
 These adjectives refer to nonspecific nouns and include words like "some," "any," "all,"
"several," "few," "many," "each," and "every." For example, in the phrase "any book," "any" is
an indefinite adjective.
Position of Adjectives:
 Adjectives can be placed before nouns (attributive position) or after linking verbs (predicate
position) in a sentence. For example:
 Attributive position: "The red car."
 Predicate position: "The car is red."

Comparative and Superlative Forms:

 Adjectives can have comparative and superlative forms to compare two or more nouns. For
example:
 Comparative: "Taller," "more beautiful."
 Superlative: "Tallest," "most beautiful."
Order of Adjectives:
 When multiple adjectives are used to describe the same noun, they usually follow a specific
order: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, and purpose. For example, "a beautiful
old rectangular wooden table."
Using Adjectives in Sentences:
 Adjectives help provide vivid descriptions and details in sentences, enhancing the reader's
understanding and creating imagery.
Understanding adjectives and how to use them effectively is essential for creating descriptive and engaging
writing in English. If you have any specific questions about adjectives or need further clarification, feel free to
ask!

4. ADVERBS
Adverbs are versatile parts of speech in English grammar that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs by
providing information about time, manner, place, degree, frequency, or certainty. Here are some key points
about adverbs:
Types of Adverbs:
Adverbs of Manner:
 These adverbs describe how an action is performed and often end in "-ly." For example,
"quickly," "carefully," "loudly," "happily."
Adverbs of Time:
 These adverbs indicate when an action occurs and include words like "now," "then," "soon,"
"yesterday," "today," "tomorrow."
Adverbs of Place:
 These adverbs specify where an action takes place and include words like "here," "there,"
"everywhere," "inside," "outside."
Adverbs of Degree:
 These adverbs modify adjectives or other adverbs to indicate the extent or degree of something
and include words like "very," "extremely," "quite," "too," "enough."
Adverbs of Frequency:
 These adverbs indicate how often an action occurs and include words like "always," "often,"
"sometimes," "rarely," "never."
Adverbs of Certainty:
 These adverbs express the speaker's degree of certainty or confidence and include words like
"certainly," "probably," "possibly," "surely."
Formation of Adverbs:
 Many adverbs are formed by adding "-ly" to adjectives. For example, "quick" becomes
"quickly," "happy" becomes "happily."
 However, not all adverbs end in "-ly." Some adverbs have irregular forms, such as "fast," "well,"
"hard," "soon," "never."
Position of Adverbs:
 Adverbs can be placed in different positions within a sentence, depending on the type of adverb
and the emphasis desired. They can appear before the verb, after the verb, or at the beginning or
end of a sentence.
 Adverbs usually follow this order: manner, place, time. For example, "She spoke (manner)
confidently (place) yesterday (time)."
Using Adverbs in Sentences:
 Adverbs add detail and specificity to verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, helping to convey a
clearer picture or understanding of actions, qualities, or circumstances.
 They can also modify entire sentences to express the speaker's attitude, viewpoint, or evaluation
of a situation.
Avoiding Redundancy:
 It's important to avoid using adverbs unnecessarily or in redundant ways. Sometimes, a stronger
verb or a more descriptive adjective can convey the intended meaning more effectively than an
adverb.

5. PRONOUNS
Pronouns are words used to replace nouns in sentences to avoid repetition and add variety to language. Here are
some key points about pronouns:
Types of Pronouns:
Personal Pronouns:
 Refer to specific people or things and vary based on the grammatical person (first person, second
person, third person) and number (singular or plural). Examples include "I," "you," "he," "she,"
"it," "we," and "they."
Possessive Pronouns:
 Indicate ownership or possession and do not require an additional noun. Examples include
"mine," "yours," "his," "hers," "its," "ours," and "theirs."
Reflexive Pronouns:
 Reflect back to the subject of the sentence and are formed by adding "-self" or "-selves" to
personal pronouns. Examples include "myself," "yourself," "himself," "herself," "itself,"
"ourselves," "yourselves," and "themselves."
Demonstrative Pronouns:
 Point out specific people, places, or things and include words like "this," "that," "these," and
"those." For example, "This is mine."
Interrogative Pronouns:
 Used to ask questions and include words like "who," "whom," "whose," "what," and "which."
For example, "Whose book is this?"
Relative Pronouns:
 Introduce relative clauses and connect them to the main clause. Common relative pronouns
include "who," "whom," "whose," "which," and "that." For example, "The person who called is
my friend."
Indefinite Pronouns:
 Refer to nonspecific people or things and include words like "everyone," "someone," "anyone,"
"nothing," "something," "anybody," "nobody," "everyone," "everything," and "each." For
example, "Somebody left their jacket."
Function of Pronouns:
 Pronouns replace nouns to avoid repetition in sentences, making writing or speech more concise
and fluid.
 They also help to maintain clarity and coherence in communication by indicating who or what is
being referred to.
Agreement of Pronouns:
 Pronouns must agree with their antecedents (the nouns they replace) in gender, number, and
person. For example, "He loves his job" (singular) versus "They love their jobs" (plural).
Using Pronouns in Sentences:
 Pronouns can serve various functions in sentences, including as subjects, objects, possessives, or
reflexives, depending on their role in the sentence structure.

6. PREPOSITIONS
Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence.
They indicate location, time, direction, manner, or other relationships. Here are some key points about
prepositions:
Common Prepositions:
 Location: "in," "on," "at," "under," "above," "below," "beside," "between," "among," "inside,"
"outside," "behind," "in front of," etc.
 Time: "in," "on," "at," "during," "before," "after," "since," "for," "by," "until," "from," "to," etc.
 Direction: "to," "from," "toward(s)," "into," "onto," "out of," "away from," "along," "through,"
"across," etc.
 Manner: "with," "without," "by," "like," "as," etc.
 Possession: "of," "belonging to," etc.
Function in Sentences:
 Prepositions typically introduce phrases called prepositional phrases, which consist of the
preposition, its object (a noun or pronoun), and any modifiers of the object. For example, in the
phrase "in the box," "in" is the preposition, and "the box" is the object of the preposition.
 Prepositional phrases can function as adjectives or adverbs, modifying nouns or verbs,
respectively. For example, in the sentence "The book on the table is mine," "on the table"
modifies "book" (noun) and acts as an adjective.
Using Prepositions Correctly:
 The choice of preposition depends on the specific relationship being described. For example, you
"walk to" a place, but you "walk in" a park.
  Prepositions can be idiomatic, meaning their usage may not always follow strict logical rules and
may vary depending on context and convention.
Prepositions of Time:
 Prepositions are often used to indicate time relationships, such as "in" for general time periods
("in the morning"), "on" for specific days or dates ("on Monday"), and "at" for specific times ("at
3 o'clock").
Prepositional Phrases:
 Prepositional phrases can function as adjectives or adverbs in sentences, providing additional
information about nouns or verbs, respectively. For example, in the sentence "The cat on the
table is sleeping," "on the table" is a prepositional phrase acting as an adjective to modify "cat."
Prepositions at the End of Sentences:
 While it's generally considered informal, it's not grammatically incorrect to end a sentence with a
preposition. However, it's often stylistically preferable to rephrase sentences to avoid ending
with a preposition in formal writing.
Understanding prepositions and their usage is important for constructing clear and precise sentences in English.
If you have any specific questions about prepositions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!

7. CONJUNCTIONS
Conjunctions are words used to connect words, phrases, clauses, or sentences. They serve to show relationships
between the connected elements and help create coherent and cohesive communication. Here are some key
points about conjunctions:
Types of Conjunctions:
Coordinating Conjunctions:
 Connect elements of equal grammatical rank, such as words, phrases, or independent clauses.
The most common coordinating conjunctions are "and," "but," "or," "nor," "for," "so," and "yet."
For example:
 "I like coffee and tea."
 "She wanted to go, but he preferred to stay."

Subordinating Conjunctions:
 Introduce dependent clauses (subordinate clauses) and establish a relationship between the
dependent clause and the main clause. They indicate time, cause and effect, contrast, condition,
concession, etc. Common subordinating conjunctions include "because," "although," "while,"
"since," "if," "when," "before," "after," "unless," "though," etc. For example:
 "I'll go if you go."
 "She left because she was tired."

Correlative Conjunctions:
 Come in pairs and work together to connect words, phrases, or clauses of equal importance.
Common correlative conjunctions include "either...or," "neither...nor," "both...and," "not
only...but also," "whether...or," "as...as," etc. For example:
 "You can either come with us or stay here."
 "She is not only intelligent but also kind."
Conjunctive Adverbs:
 Function as both adverbs and conjunctions, connecting independent clauses and showing
relationships between them. Common conjunctive adverbs include "however," "therefore,"
"moreover," "consequently," "nevertheless," "meanwhile," "furthermore," etc. For example:
 "She studied hard; however, she failed the exam."

Function of Conjunctions:
 Conjunctions join words, phrases, or clauses to make sentences more complex and varied.
 They help clarify relationships between ideas, such as cause and effect, contrast, addition, or
condition.
Using Conjunctions in Sentences:
 Conjunctions play a crucial role in structuring sentences and paragraphs, creating coherence and
ensuring logical flow.
 Understanding the appropriate use of conjunctions enhances the clarity and effectiveness of
written and spoken communication.
Conjunctions in Compound and Complex Sentences:
 Conjunctions are essential for constructing compound sentences (containing two or more
independent clauses) and complex sentences (containing one independent clause and at least one
dependent clause).

8. A LIST OF CONJUNCTIONS
Coordinating Conjunctions (there are seven):
And Or But Nor So For Yet

Conjunctive Adverbs (these are only a few): Accordingly Also Anyway Besides Consequently Finally For
Example For Instance Further Furthermore Hence However Incidentally Indeed In Fact Instead Likewise
Meanwhile Moreover Namely Now Of Course On the Contrary On the Other Hand Otherwise Nevertheless
Next Nonetheless Similarly So Far Until Now Still Then Therefore Thus

9. INTERJECTIONS
Interjections are words or phrases used to express emotions, feelings, or reactions. They often stand alone and
are punctuated with an exclamation mark. Here are some key points about interjections:
Common Interjections:
 Joy or Approval: "Wow!", "Yay!", "Hooray!", "Bravo!"
 Surprise: "Oh!", "Wow!", "Ah!", "Ouch!"
 Pain or Displeasure: "Ow!", "Ouch!", "Yikes!", "Ugh!"
 Greeting or Farewell: "Hello!", "Hi!", "Goodbye!", "Bye!"
 Acknowledgment or Agreement: "Yes!", "Okay!", "Alright!", "Sure!"
 Disagreement or Denial: "No!", "Nope!", "Uh-uh!", "Nah!"
  Attention or Calling: "Hey!", "Hey there!", "Listen!", "Look!"
 Pleasure or Relief: "Ahh!", "Phew!", "Ahh, that's better!"
 Confusion or Indecision: "Huh?", "Hmm", "Err...", "Umm..."
Function of Interjections:
 Interjections convey emotions, reactions, or sentiments, adding color and emphasis to speech or
writing.
 They often reflect the speaker's immediate thoughts or feelings in a spontaneous manner.
 Interjections can stand alone as complete utterances or be integrated into sentences for added
effect.
Punctuation:
 Interjections are typically punctuated with exclamation marks to convey the intensity or
emphasis of the emotion being expressed. However, in some cases, they may be followed by a
comma or period depending on the context.
Usage in Writing and Speech:
 Interjections are commonly used in informal writing and speech, such as conversations,
dialogue, and informal texts.
 They add liveliness, authenticity, and expressiveness to language, helping to engage the reader or
listener.
Variations and Regional Differences:
 Interjections may vary across different languages, cultures, and regions, reflecting local
expressions and norms.
 Some interjections may have similar meanings but different forms in different contexts or
dialects.
Interjections in Literature and Media:
 Interjections are often used in literature, poetry, and creative writing to convey characters'
emotions, reactions, or inner thoughts.
 In media, interjections are frequently used in dialogue to enhance characterization and realism.

10. SENTENCES:
Certainly! Here are some example sentences demonstrating various aspects of English grammar:
Simple Sentence:
 "She sings beautifully."
Compound Sentence:
 "She sings beautifully, and he plays the guitar."
Complex Sentence:
 "While she sings beautifully, he plays the guitar."
Compound-Complex Sentence:

Simple sentences consist of a single independent clause that contains a subject and a predicate, conveying a
complete thought. They are straightforward and easy to understand, making them an essential building block of
written and spoken communication. If you have any other requests or questions, feel free to ask!

compound Sentences
Certainly! Compound sentences are formed by joining two or more independent clauses (complete sentences)
together using coordinating conjunctions (such as "and," "but," "or," "nor," "for," "so," or "yet") or semicolons.
Here are some examples of compound sentences:
1. "She likes to read, and he likes to paint."
2. "I wanted to go to the beach, but it rained."

10. "She's tired, so she's going to bed early tonight."
In each of these examples, two independent clauses are joined together to form a compound sentence, providing
a relationship between the ideas expressed in each clause. If you have any further questions or need more
examples, feel free to ask!
complex Sentences
Complex sentences contain one independent clause (a complete sentence) and at least one dependent clause (a
sentence fragment that cannot stand alone). Here are some examples of complex sentences:

In each of these examples, the dependent clause adds additional information to the independent clause, creating
a more complex sentence structure. If you have any further questions or need more examples, feel free to ask!
compound-complex
Compound-complex sentences contain at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.
Here are some examples:
1. "Although she studied hard, she didn't pass the exam, but she learned a lot."
 Independent clause: "She didn't pass the exam."

typically followed by a question mark.
 Example: "What time is it? Are you ready to go?"
5. Interrogative Sentences: In most cases, an interrogative sentence (a sentence that asks a question) ends
with a question mark.

longer and typically used for stronger breaks in thought or emphasis, while the en dash is shorter and often used
to indicate ranges or connections between items. However, in many contexts, the hyphen (-) is often used
interchangeably with the en dash due to technical limitations or stylistic preferences.
Correct usage of dashes can add clarity, emphasis, and style to your writing. If you have any further questions
or need more examples, feel free to ask!

5. Stylistic Use: Ellipses are sometimes used stylistically to create a sense of atmosphere, mood, or
intrigue.
 Example: "The night was dark and quiet... too quiet."
It's important to use ellipses judiciously and appropriately in writing. Overuse of ellipses can make writing
appear disjointed or unclear. Additionally, it's crucial to be mindful of context and intended meaning when
using ellipses, as they can convey different nuances depending on the context in which they are used. If you

 Writing (Purpose): "She bought a writing desk."
These examples cover a range of adjectives and demonstrate how they are used to describe different qualities,
quantities, and characteristics of nouns. If you have any specific categories of adjectives you'd like more
examples for or any other questions, feel free to ask!
Relative Clauses:
Relative clauses, also known as adjective clauses, are dependent clauses that provide additional information
about a noun in the main clause. They begin with relative pronouns (such as who, whom, whose, which, and
that) or relative adverbs (such as when, where, and why). Here are some key points about relative clauses:
1. Introduction: Relative clauses begin with relative pronouns or relative adverbs.
 Example with a relative pronoun: "The book that she bought is interesting."
 Example with a relative adverb: "This is the place where I grew up."
2. Function: Relative clauses modify nouns in the main clause by adding more information about them.
 Example: "The girl who is wearing a blue dress is my sister."
3. Types:
 Restrictive (Defining) Relative Clauses: These provide essential information about the noun
and are not separated by commas.
 Example: "The car that is parked in the driveway belongs to my neighbor."
 Non-Restrictive (Non-Defining) Relative Clauses: These provide additional, non-essential
information and are separated by commas.
 Example: "My sister, who lives in Paris, is coming to visit us."
 4. Relative Pronouns:
 Who: Refers to people.
 Example: "The man who is talking to Mary is her brother."
 Whom: Also refers to people but is less commonly used in informal English. It's the object form
of "who."
 Example: "The girl whom I met yesterday is a famous actress."
 Whose: Indicates possession and is used for both people and things.
 Example: "The house whose roof is red is for sale."
 Which: Refers to things or animals.
 Example: "The car, which is parked in the driveway, belongs to my neighbor."
 That: Can refer to both people and things, and it's often used in restrictive clauses.
 Example: "The book that I'm reading is very interesting."
5. Relative Adverbs:
 When: Refers to a specific time.
 Example: "Do you remember the day when we first met?"
 Where: Refers to a specific place.
 Example: "This is the hotel where we stayed last summer."
 Why: Refers to a reason or cause.
 Example: "He explained the reason why he was late."
Relative clauses are important for providing additional information and adding detail to sentences.
Understanding how to use relative pronouns and adverbs correctly can help clarify the relationships between
different elements in a sentence. If you have any further questions or need more examples, feel free to ask!

12. ARTICLES
Articles are words that precede nouns and provide information about the specificity or generalization of the
noun. In English, there are two main types of articles: definite articles and indefinite articles.
1. Definite Articles:
 The: The definite article "the" is used before singular or plural nouns that refer to specific or
particular entities that are known to the speaker and the listener or that have been previously
mentioned.
 Example: "Please pass the salt."
 Example: "I saw the movie last night."
2. Indefinite Articles:
 A: The indefinite article "a" is used before singular nouns that refer to a non-specific or generic
entity.
 Example: "I want to buy a car."
 An: The indefinite article "an" is used before singular nouns that begin with a vowel sound.
 Example: "She is an excellent cook."
Articles are essential for indicating the specificity or generality of nouns and for providing clarity in
communication. However, there are also cases where no article is needed, such as with plural nouns used in a
general sense ("Cats are mammals") or with uncountable nouns ("She has experience"). Understanding when to
use articles correctly is important for accurate and effective communication in English. If you have any further
questions or need more examples, feel free to ask!
13. CONJUNCTIONS
Conjunctions are words used to connect words, phrases, clauses, or sentences. They help to establish
relationships between different elements in a sentence. There are several types of conjunctions, including
coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions, and correlative conjunctions. Here are some examples
of each:
Coordinating Conjunctions:
 And: Used to connect two similar elements or to add information.
 Example: "I like tea and coffee."
 But: Used to contrast or show a difference between two elements.
 Example: "She is tired, but she keeps working."
 Or: Used to present alternatives or options.
 Example: "Do you want tea or coffee?"
 Nor: Used to present negative alternatives.
 Example: "He neither eats meat nor fish."
 For: Used to explain reasons or cause-and-effect relationships.
 Example: "He is studying hard, for he wants to pass the exam."
 Yet: Used to indicate contrast or unexpectedness.
 Example: "He is rich, yet he is not happy."

Subordinating Conjunctions:
 Because: Introduces a reason or cause.
 Example: "She is sad because she failed the test."
 Although: Indicates contrast or introduces a subordinate clause.
 Example: "He is happy, although he didn't win the prize."
 If: Introduces a condition.
 Example: "I will go out if it stops raining."
 When: Indicates time or introduces a subordinate clause.
 Example: "I will call you when I arrive."
 While: Indicates simultaneous actions or introduces a subordinate clause.
 Example: "He read a book while waiting for the bus."

Correlative Conjunctions:
 Either...or: Presents alternatives.
 Example: "You can either study hard or fail the exam."
 Neither...nor: Presents negative alternatives.
 Example: "He is neither tall nor short."
 Both...and: Indicates a combination or addition.
 Example: "She is both intelligent and hardworking."
 Not only...but also: Emphasizes a combination or addition.
 Example: "He is not only smart but also kind."
Conjunctions play a crucial role in connecting ideas and creating coherence in writing. By understanding the
different types of conjunctions and their functions, writers can effectively convey relationships between
different parts of a sentence or text. If you have any further questions or need more examples, feel free to ask!
