another, and so on. This is called a
chain of events.

conjunction.

Let’s Review . . .
The conjunction is the seventh of the eight parts of
speech. Just for the record, here are all eight:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Noun
Pronoun
Adjective
Verb
Adverb
Preposition
Conjunction
Interjection
First, let's start with a basic definition:
Conjunctions are words that join words or
groups of words.
There are two main types:
coordinating conjunctions
subordinating conjunctions
Coordinating conjunctions include:
•
•
•
•
•
And
Or
But
For
Nor
These conjunctions connect words, phrases, and
clauses of equal value.
Let’s practice . . .
Write 3 sentences that include coordinating
conjunctions.
Do they connect words, phrases, and clauses of
equal value?
Independent Clauses:
Clauses of equal value are called independent clauses
and can stand on their own as separate sentences.
Example:
John is running in this race and I am carrying his water
bottle.
Each clause can stand alone:
John is running in this race.
I am carrying his water bottle.
Double check your sentences - conjunctions connect
words, phrases, and clauses of equal value.
Subordinating conjunctions:
Subordinating conjunctions introduce
dependent clauses.
Dependent clauses cannot stand alone as a
single sentence.
In fact, the clause is dependent on the rest of
the sentence for its meaning.
Dependent Clauses:
Dependent Clauses cannot stand alone as a single
sentence.
The clause is dependent on the rest of the sentence for its
meaning.
Example:
Since I will not be home, Tina will answer the phone.
"Since I will not be home" doesn't make sense by itself.
It is dependent on the rest of the sentence for its
meaning.
Subordinating Conjunctions
Most commonly used subordinating conjunctions
include:
• Although
*When
• Because
*Before
• As
*If
• While
• Until
• Whether
• Since
• After
• So that
Now let’s practice . . .
Subordinating conjunctions introduce dependent
clauses.
With a partner, come up with at least 3 examples of
sentences that include Subordinating Conjunctions
that introduce Dependent Clauses.
