 Types of Conjunctions

A conjunction is a word that links words, phrases, or clauses. There are three types of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, and subordinating conjunctions.

       Coordinating Conjunctions may join single words, or they may join groups of words, but they must always join similar elements such as subject+subject, verb phrase+verb phrase, or sentence+sentence. When a coordinating conjunction is used to join elements, the element becomes a compound element.

Examples: and, but, or, yet, for, nor, so

Correlative Conjunctions also connect sentence elements of the same kind, however, unlike coordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions are always used in pairs.

Examples: 

both - and 

not only - but also 

not - but 

either - or 

neither - nor 

whether - or 

as - as

         Subordinating Conjunctions: These are the largest class of conjunctions. They connect subordinate clauses to a main clause. They are adverbs used as conjunctions.

Examples: 

Time: after, before, since, when, while, until 

Reason: because, since, so that, why 

Place: where, wherever 

Condition: if, unless, until, in case 

Manner: as if, as though, how
