What is a Conjunction?

Definition: A conjunction is a word that connects groups of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences. The conjunction is also named or called a connector, joiner, or sentence linker.

Types of Conjunction for class 8 

There are three types of conjunctions:

1. Coordinating Conjunction
2. Subordinating Conjunction
3. Correlative Conjunction

Different sorts of conjunctions connect various kinds of grammatical formations. Based on their application.

1. Coordinating Conjunction

Conjunctions combining the identical kind of grammatical systems are called coordinating conjunction. Coordinating conjunctions join two terms, phrases, or main clauses of equal significance. They have never used it at the beginning and the end.

The most usually applied coordinating conjunctions are: but, and, for, or, nor, so, yet. The word ‘for‘ is most frequently utilized as a preposition, but it also works as a coordinating conjunction. An important and exciting approach to identify these conjunctions is to recognize the acronym FANBOYS.

Each of the alphabets of this word is the initial letter of one of the coordinating conjunctions.

• F- FOR
• A- AND
• N- NOR
• B- BUT
• O- OR
• Y- YET
• S- SO

The sentence must include two statements of equal rank or value.

• Phrase with Phrase
• Noun with Noun
• Clause with Clause
• Adjective with Adjective
• Subject with Subject

2. Subordinating Conjunction

Subordination conjunction adds a subordinate clause in a complex sentence. Subordination conjunctions, in the most abundant class of conjunction, connect the Subordinate clause to the main clause. It appears at the commencement of a subordinate clause and builds a connection between the dependent clause and the rest of the sentence. The sentence must include pair statements from which one is dependent on the other for its full meaning. Some more general subordination conjunctions are; since, when, till, if, because, that, units, unless, etc.

Subordination conjunctions may be arranged respectively:

Time:- before, after, since, until, as soon as, till
Purpose:- in case, so that

Condition:- if, unless, provided
Concession:- through, yet, even though
Comparison:- so, as, than
