3 KINDS OF CONJUNCTIONS COORDINATING CONJUCTION CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTION SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTION COORDINATING CONJUNCTION Joins individual words, phrases and clauses. And, but, or, nor, for, so, or yet are coordinating conjunction. F – FOR B – BUT A – AND O – OR N – NOR Y – YET S - SO For - is used to express causal relation – one element is a cause of the other. EX. He ran away, for he was frightened by what he saw. And - is used to join elements in order to stress what they have in common. EX. He saw a spider, a bat, and a ghost. Shaina cooked food and baked cookies for me. Nor - is used when the alternative is negative. EX. He did not stop running, nor did he look back over his shoulder. But - is used to emphasise the difference between the elements it joins. EX. He felt foolish, but he couldn’t help it. Or - is used to indicate an alternative. EX. He must stay out of haunted houses, or he will have a stroke. Yet - is used to emphasize the difference between the elements it joins. Unlike but, it also suggests that the second element is something that might not ordinarily be expected. EX. He was warned that the house was haunted, yet he went in anyway. So - suggests a purpose – the second element is needed because of the first. EX. He was curious, so he paid no heed to the warnings. CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTION Emphasize the relationship set up by coordinating conjunctions. The principal correlatives are: both … and, either … or, neither … nor, not only … but also, and whether … or. The elements joined by correlatives must be alike in structure, or the force of the correlative will be lost. EXAMPLES: Whether you like it or not, I’ll stay here.
