Coordinating conjunctions link words and groups of words
For instance:
- I wish to become a teacher or a singer.
Or functions as a coordinating conjunction because it joins the nouns "teacher" and "singer"
Correlative conjunctions appear in pairs. Similar to coordinating conjunctions, they connect words and groups of words.
For example:
- The work of a marine biologist appears to be neither simple nor dull.
Neither and Nor are correlative conjunctions because they link the adjectives "simple" and "dull."
In a sentence, a subordinate conjunction serves dual purposes. Firstly, it highlights the significance of the independent clause. Secondly, it provides a bridge between two ideas within the same statement. This transition indicates a relationship involving place, time, or cause and effect.
For example:
- We checked the metal container, where Ginger typically conceals her sweets.
Where operates as a subordinating conjunction because it describes the location where Ginger often hides her candy. "Where" does Ginger commonly hide her candy? Inside the metal canister.
I hope this is helpful!!
