Conjunctions are an essential part of English grammar, as they help us link words, phrases, or clauses together to create more complex sentences. They are vital for effective communication and ensure that our writing and speech are cohesive and coherent. The three main types of conjunctions are coordinating, subordinating, and correlative conjunctions. Coordinating conjunctions are used to connect words or phrases of equal importance, such as “and,” “but,” or “or.” Subordinating conjunctions, such as “because,” “although,” or “since,” are used to introduce a dependent clause and show a relationship between it and an independent clause. Correlative conjunctions work in pairs to connect words or phrases, such as “either…or,” “both…and,” or “not only…but also.” In the following exercises, you will practice using different types of conjunctions to complete sentences. Good luck!
