What is a Conjunction? • A conjunction is like glue. It helps things to stick together. • A conjunction joins words, phrases, and clauses.

2 Types of Conjunctions • Coordinating Conjunctions • aka FANBOYS • Subordinating Conjunctions Let’s listen to a little diddy about the first type: coordinating conjunctions https://www.flocabulary.com/unit/conjunctions/
COORDINATING CONJUCTIONS • One type of conjunction is the coordinating conjunction. • They connect words, phrases, and clauses. • They connect things of equal value. (This means that they would connect a noun with another noun or a prepositional phrase with another prepositional phrase.)
COORDINATING CONJUCTIONS • There are seven coordinating conjunctions: Use FANBOYS to remember for and nor but or yet so
COORDINATING CONJUCTIONS • Coordinating conjunctions affect the meaning of your sentence. • “And” connects things that are similar. • Ex. I want popcorn and pizza.
COORDINATING CONJUCTIONS • “But” is used to connect things that are different or separated (contrasting ideas). • Ex. I want popcorn but not pizza.
COORDINATING CONJUCTIONS • “Or” is used to offer a choice. • Ex. Do I want popcorn or pizza?
COORDINATING CONJUCTIONS • “Nor” is used to offer a negative choice. • Ex. I do not want popcorn nor pizza.
COORDINATING CONJUCTIONS • “Yet” is used to show a change or different outcome. • Ex. I want popcorn, yet I also want pizza.
COORDINATING CONJUCTIONS • “So” is used to show a relationship between things (cause and effect) • Ex. I want popcorn, so I made some.
COORDINATING CONJUCTIONS • “For” is used to show a reason. • Ex. I ordered a pizza, for I was hungry.
Type 2 – Subordinating Conjunctions Using Commas with Subordinating Conjunctions Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6NHIPh5cqI
SUBORDINATING CONJUCTION • A subordinating conjunction connects a subordinate clause (a clause that cannot be written as a separate sentence) with an independent clause. • Examples • We celebrated after we won the game. • Because our train was delayed, we arrived late. • Watson listened quietly while Holmes explained his theory.
Common Subordinating Conjunctions • The list of subordinating conjunctions is very long but here are some of the most common ones. • IF, WHILE, BECAUSE, ALTHOUGH, AFTER, BEFORE, UNLESS, WHEN, UNTIL, SINCE, THEN, AS, WHICH, WHEREVER, THAT, ONCE
