GRAMMAR - Conjunctions

List of Conjunctions:

Quick Refresher:
Conjunctions are words that join two or more words, phrases, or clauses.
This list of conjunctions contains coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions, and correlative conjunctions.

P.S. Sentence diagrams give us a way to show how the words in a sentence are related to each other.


List of Coordinating Conjunctions:
Coordinating conjunctions are conjunctions that join sentence elements that are the same. They can join words, phrases, and clauses.

Example:
"cookies and milk."
"into the house and out the door"
"He came and she left."

List of Coordinating Conjunctions
There are only seven of these, and they are easy to memorize if you use the acronym FANBOYS:
- for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so

The sentence diagram really shows that coordinating conjunctions connect two or more elements because the conjunction goes on a dotted line between the things that they connect. Cool, huh? That diagram shows a coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses.


List of Subordinating Conjunctions:
Subordinating conjunctions are conjunctions that join dependent clauses to independent clauses.

Example: "I will eat broccoli after I eat this cookie."

There are many subordinating conjunctions, so keep in mind that this list does not include all of them!
You can see that these connect dependent and independent clauses by looking at the sentence diagram. The subordinating conjunction goes on a dotted line between the two clauses.

Learn to diagram subordinating conjunctions.

- A after, although, as, as if, as long as, as much as, as soon as, as though
- B because, before, by the time
- E even if, even though
- I if, in order that, in case
- L lest
- O once, only if
- P provided that
- S since, so that
- T than, that, though, till
- U unless, until
- W when, whenever, where, wherever, while


List of Correlative Conjunctions:
These do the same thing that coordinating conjunctions do except that they are always used in pairs.

Example: "This cookie contains neither chocolate nor nuts."
- both... and
- either... or
- neither... nor
- not only... but also
- whether... or
