 The uses of Conjunctions in Sentences with Examples


A conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence. Conjunctions can be used to show a variety of relationships between the words or clauses that they connect, such as adding information, contrasting ideas, or indicating a cause-and-effect relationship.

There are three types of conjunctions:

  1. Coordinating conjunctions: These conjunctions connect words, phrases, or clauses of equal grammatical importance. Examples include "and," "or," "but," "yet," "so," and "for."

  2. Subordinating conjunctions: These conjunctions connect a subordinate clause to a main clause. Examples include "because," "although," "since," "if," "when," "while," "until," and "before."

  3. Correlative conjunctions: These conjunctions come in pairs and connect words, phrases, or clauses of equal importance. Examples include "both...and," "either...or," "neither...nor," "whether...or," "not only...but also," and "just as...so."

Function of conjunctions in sentences:

  1. Coordinating conjunctions join words, phrases, or clauses of equal importance and are often used to link ideas in a sentence.

  2. Subordinating conjunctions connect subordinate clauses to main clauses, and often indicate a specific relationship between the two clauses, such as cause and effect, time, or contrast.

  3. Correlative conjunctions join words, phrases, or clauses of equal importance and often indicate a relationship of contrast or choice between the ideas they connect.

In summary, conjunctions connect words, phrases, clauses and indicate relationships such as addition, contrast, cause-effect or alternative.
