Last Week
-English Class-
We learned about
Conjunction and Preposition
CONJUNCTION
is a word that connects other words or groups of words.
FANBOYS
for-and-nor-but-or-yet-so
For Example:
In the sentence
"Peter and Vivian are married"
the conjunction and connects two nouns
and in the sentence
"He will listen or sleep"
the conjunction or connects two verbs.
In the sentence
"It is late but we will make it"
the conjunction but connects two groups of words.
There are basically 3 of Conjunction
Coordinating conjunctions
are conjunctions which connect two equal parts of a sentence.
The most common ones are
and, or, but, and so
which are used in the following ways:
They stopped and stared.
and is used to join or add words together in the sentence
He will be downstairs or out playing basketball.
or is used to show choice or possibilities as in the sentence
She is petite but very talented.
but is used to show opposite or conflicting ideas as in the sentence
I was freezing so I closed the window.
so is used to show result as in the sentence
Subordinating conjunctions
connect two parts of a sentence that are not equal.
In other words it combines
an independent phrase with an nonindependent phrase.
For Example:
After I'm done cooking, we will have a feast.
(nonindependent) ____________(independent)
Samples of Subordinating Conjunctions:
after
before
unless
although
if
until
as
since
when
because
than
while
Correlative conjunctions
are pairs of conjunctions that work together.
In the sentence
"Both siren and mermaid are myths"
both . . .and are correlative conjunctions.
The most common correlative conjunctions are:
both . . .and
either . . . or
neither . . . nor
not only . . . but also
:Reference:
PREPOSITION
is a word which shows relationships
among other words in the sentence.
The relationships include direction, place,
time, cause, manner and amount.
In the sentence
"She went to the ball"
to is a preposition which shows direction.
"He came by taxi"
by is a preposition which shows manner.
"They will be here at twelve o'clock"
at is a preposition which shows time
"It is under the pillow"
under is a preposition which shows place.
A preposition always goes with a noun or pronoun
which is called the object of the preposition.
The preposition is almost always before the noun or pronoun
and that is why it is called a preposition.
The preposition and the object of the preposition
together are called a prepositional phrase.
