Understanding how to use conjunctions including 12 downloadable study slides for use in the classroom or for self study.

What are conjunctions?

Conjunctions are words used to connect words, phrases, or clauses. There are three types of conjunctions:

Coordinating Conjunctions. Coordinating conjunctions join like with like. For example, they join a noun with another noun or an adjective with another adjective. The most common ones are "and," "but," and "or." There are seven in total: "for," "and," "nor," "but," "or," "yet," and "so." (You can remember them using the mnemonic F.A.N.B.O.Y.S.)
Subordinating Conjunctions. Subordinating conjunctions join subordinate clauses to main clauses. Common examples are "although," "because," "if," "since," "unless," "until," and "while."
Correlative Conjunctions. Correlative conjunctions are used in pairs to join alternatives or equal elements. The most common pairs are "either/or," "neither/nor," and "not only/but also."

Below are a useful set of slides that teachers can use in the classroom or students can use for study or revision. I am not sure who created them originally, but I have used them many times in my classes and I hope that they prove to be equally as useful for you.

Good luck, good teaching, and good studying.
