  1. Conjunctions and Interjections

  2. Interjections: show emotion, stand alone • Mild: off-set with comma • Strong: off-set with an exclamation point Conjunctions: connect words, phrases, & clauses • Coordinating: FANBOYS • Correlative: work in pairs • Subordinating: rank ideas in importance

  3. Interjections Interjection: expresses emotion; can be separate from a sentence BUT is not a sentence. Can be real words, onomatopoeic words, or swear words. Are not grammatically necessary to a sentence, but instead add to the voice of the writing. They should be used sparingly. • Mild: off-set with a comma • Ex: Brrrrr, it feel cold. • Strong: off-set with an exclamation point. • Ex: Wow! You look great!

  4. Coordinating Conjunctions Coordinating Conjunctions connect words, phrases, & clauses. They are remembered by the acronym FANBOYS: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So • ALWAYS USE A COMMA BEFORE THE CONJUNCTION THAT JOINS 2 SENTENCES • Ex: My husband likes candy, but I like pie. • Ex: The girls and boys were excited for the dance. • Ex: Have you seen or heard “Somalia” by K’Naan?

  5. Correlative Conjunctions • Correlative conjunctions work in pairs and make the same connections as coordinating conjunctions • Correlative conjunction pairs: • both … and • either … or • neither … nor • whether … or • not only … but also • Ex: Both Jenny and Ashley tried out for the play. • Ex: Whether you want to go or not, you’re going. • Ex: Not only did was he an excellent athlete, but he was also an excellent student.

  6. Subordinating Conjunctions Subordinating conjunctions connect two ideas but rank one idea less important than the other.They usually show time, cause & effect, condition, or opposition. If the conjunction creates a phrase before the main sentence, use a comma. • Ex: Our team will win this game even if it continues to rain. • Ex: In case of emergencies, call the office immediately. • Ex: Jesse is in a bad mood whenever she gets like this.
