3 types of Conjunctions
COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS
- connect words or phrases that serve the same
grammatical purpose in a sentence. There are seven main
coordinating conjunctions in English, which form the
acronym FANBOYS
F: for: The teachers were frustrated, for the school had cut funding for all
enrichment programs.*
A: and: In this course, I will write a literature review, a case study, and a
final paper.**
N: nor: The students did not complete their homework, nor did they pass
the test.
B: but: The study is several years old but still valuable to this study.
O: or: At the end of the class, the students can choose to write an essay
or take a test.
Y: yet: The patient complained of chronic pain, yet she refused
treatment.
S: so: I have only been a nurse for one year, so I have little experience
with paper charting.
note:
* "For" is rarely used as a conjunction in modern English.
** When the conjunctions "and" and "or" connect three or more
words or phrases, use a serial comma to separate items in the
series.
Transitional words such as "however" and "therefore" can also function as
conjunctions:
The authors agreed on the prevalence of the problem; however, they
disagreed on the problem’s cause.
Several employees complained about the new policies, and therefore, the
manager held an all-staff meeting to address their concerns.
CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTIONS
-consist of two words or phrases that help make a point or
establish alternatives. Although paired conjunctions can be helpful
in structuring a sentence, they can also make sentences wordier
than necessary, so use these conjunctions sparingly.
CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTIONS
both…and
The project will require significant investments of both time and
money.
Both the students and the teachers were satisfied with the pilot
program.
Note: When two subjects are connected by "both…and," use a
plural verb (such as "are" or "were").
CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTIONS
not only…but also
Students who did not complete the assignment received not only a
poor grade but also a warning from the teacher.
Not only did the student include full sentences from the source
without using quotation marks, but he also failed to properly cite
paraphrased material.
CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTIONS
either…or
Either the students were unprepared or the assessment
was poorly written.
Participants in the survey could either choose from a list
of possible answers or write in their own responses.
CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTIONS
neither…nor
Students who did not complete the project received neither
praise nor rewards.
The staff neither followed the new policy nor asked for
clarification.
SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS
-Subordinating conjunctions join a subordinate clause to a main
clause and establishes a relationship between the two.
SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS
There are many subordinating clauses, but here are some of the most common:
once
after since
although than
as much as/as soon as/ that
as long as though
as though because unless until
before when/whenever
how where/wherever
if whether
in order to/in order while
that

1. Main clause + subordinate clause

The author must avoid bias if she wants to maintain a scholarly tone.

SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS

conjunction:
