    Conjunctions join words, phrases, and sentences. There are two main types: coordinating conjunctions like FANBOYS that connect elements of equal value, and correlative conjunctions that work in pairs like both...and to connect elements of equal value. Conjunctions affect sentence meaning by showing relationships like "and" for alike things and "but" for differences.

    Conjunctions

    PRESENTATION BY-

    What is a Conjunction?
     A conjunction is like glue. It helps things
    to stick together.

     A conjunction joins words, phrases, and


    sentences, which are called clauses.

    [1]
     Conjunctions join two or more words.

    Example: I went to the store to buy eggs,


    milk, and bread.

    [2]
     Conjunctions can join two prepositional
    phrases.

    Ex. I went skiing down the hill and past


    the trees.

    [3]
     Conjunctions can connect two clauses or
    sentences.
     When two sentences are joined, a comma
    MUST be placed before the conjunction.

    Ex. I played cards for awhile, but then I


    played chess.

    [4]
    COORDINATING CONJUNCTION
     One type of conjunction is the
    coordinating conjunction.
     They connect words, phrases, and
    clauses, which are sentences.
     They connect things of equal value.
    (This means that they would connect a noun
    with another noun or a prepositional phrase with
    another prepositional phrase.)

    [5]
     There are seven coordinating conjunctions:
    Use FANBOYS to remember

    for and nor but

    or yet so

    [6]
     Coordinating conjunctions affect the
    meaning of your sentence.
     “And” connects things that are alike or
    joined together.
     Ex. I want popcorn and pizza.

    [7]
     Coordinating conjunctions affect the
    meaning of your sentence.
     “But” is used to connect things that are
    different or separated.
     Ex. I want popcorn but not pizza.

    [8]
     Coordinating conjunctions affect the
    meaning of your sentence.
     “Or” is used to offer a choice.
     Ex. Do I want popcorn or pizza?

    [9]
     Coordinating conjunctions affect the
    meaning of your sentence.
     “Nor” is used to offer a negative choice.
     Ex. I do not want popcorn nor pizza.

    [10]
     Coordinating conjunctions affect the
    meaning of your sentence.
     “Yet” is used to show a change. When it
    is used to combine two sentences, you
    must put a comma before it.
     Ex. I want popcorn, yet I also want pizza.

    [11]
     Coordinating conjunctions affect the
    meaning of your sentence.
     “So” is used to show a relationship
    between things. When it is used to
    combine two sentences, you must put a
    comma before it.
     Ex. I want popcorn, so I made some.

    [12]
     Coordinating conjunctions affect the
    meaning of your sentence.
     “For” is also used to show a relationship
    between things. When it is used to
    combine two sentences, you must put a
    comma before it.
     Ex. I ordered a pizza, for I was hungry.

    [13]
    CORRELATIVE CONNJUNCTION
     Another type of conjunction is called
    correlative conjunctions.
     Correlative conjunctions connect words,
    phrases, and clauses, which are sentences.
     Correlative conjunctions connect things of
    equal value.
    (This means that they will connect a verb
    with another verb or a sentence with
    another sentence.)

    [14]
     Correlative Conjunctions are not single words.
    They work in pairs.
     There are five pairs of correlative
    conjunctions:

    both….and whether….or
    neither….nor

    not only….but also either….or

    [15]
    Examples of Correlative
    Conjunctions
    I saw both the Statue of Liberty and the
    Empire State Building.

    [16]
    Examples of Correlative
    Conjunctions
    I don’t want neither pickles nor tomato on
    my hamburger.

    [17]
    Examples of Correlative
    Conjunctions
    I don’t know whether to play baseball or
    to play basketball this year.

    [18]
    Examples of Correlative
    Conjunctions
    Either the student or the teacher can
    answer the question.

    [19]
    Examples of Correlative
    Conjunctions
    Not only do I play the flute, but I also
    play the clarinet.

    [20]
