Definition of Conjunction

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a Conjunction is defined as a word as ‘and’, ‘but’, ‘while’, or ‘although’ that connects words, phrases and clauses in a sentence. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines Conjunctions as an uninflected linguistic form that joins together and forms a complete sentence.

Types of Conjunction

Conjunctions are mainly categorised into three types. All three categories are mentioned below with suitable examples for your reference. 

Coordinating Conjunction

Coordinating Conjunction connects equal grammatical importance. Such as words, phrases, and independent clauses. The very common coordinating conjunctions are for, nor, and, but, or, yet, so.

Examples

• He likes pizza and pasta.
• She can swim and dive.
• He is smart but lazy

Correlative Conjunction

The correlative word itself implies that it is related to the other word. Similarly, correlative conjunctions work in pair conjunctions to connect elements within the sentences. They include pairs such as: either/ nor, both/ and, not only/ but also.

Examples

• He is as intelligent as he is handsome.
• He can either go by bus or by plane.
• Neither the teacher nor the students are satisfied with the result.

Subordinating Conjunctions

Subordinate conjunctions build a strong relationship between the dependent clause and the independent clauses. These conjunctions introduce dependent clauses, which stand alone as complete sentences.

Examples

• We can watch the series, provided that you can finish your chores. 
• He asked whether they wanted to go to the beach or the mountains.
