Basically, conjunctions allow you to form complex sentences elegantly without the need to deal with multiple short simple sentences.<\/p>\n<p>Without conjunctions, you will end up forming your idea in a forced, unflattering way. For instance, you would say \u2018I love eating. I don\u2019t like to cook.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to conjunction words, you can easily transform that idea to \u2018I love eating <strong>but <\/strong>I don\u2019t like to cook\u2019<\/p>\n<p>See?

Technically, the subordinating kind of conjunctions provide a link between two ideas in a sentence.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, subordinate conjunction join two roles within a sentence:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>First<\/strong>, it illustrates the importance of the independent clause. In these cases, the clause containing the subordinating conjunction is the <strong>less<\/strong> important clause.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Second<\/strong>, it provides a transition between two ideas in the same sentence.

Incorrect.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>He visited not only Italy but also Greece. <strong>&gt;&gt; Correct.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><a id=\"post-63198-_72u8j171r52j\"><\/a>Tip #2: Preposition and Conjunction<\/h3>\n<p>It is important to remember that prepositions cannot be used to link two clauses because they should be followed by a noun or noun equivalent that acts as its object. Also, there are words that work both conjunctions and prepositions.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>The cat ran after the mouse. <strong>&gt;&gt; \u2018after\u2019 is a preposition here.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Mary came after David had left. <strong>&gt;&gt; \u2018after\u2019 is a conjunction here. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><a id=\"post-63198-_fjajprrmlcse\"><\/a>Tip #3: Coordinating Conjunctions<\/h3>\n<p>Except for \u2018or\u2019 and \u2018nor\u2019, every coordinating conjunction can be forgotten and replaced by a comma, colon, or semicolon.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>He went to work but I stayed home. <strong>&gt;&gt; \u2018But\u2019 is the coordinating conjunction.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>He went to work; I stayed home. <strong>&gt;&gt; \u2018but\u2019 was replaced by \u2018;\u2019 mark.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><a id=\"post-63198-_wu0cdqqp55l5\"><\/a>Tip #4: Since<\/h3>\n<p>When the word \u2018since\u2019 means \u201cfrom\u201d, then should be followed by a verb in the simple past tense and preceded by a verb in the present perfect tense. All of this change when the word changes its meaning to \u2018because\u2019<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>You have changed impressively <em>since <\/em>the last time I saw you. <strong>&gt;&gt; From.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><em>Since <\/em>I don\u2019t come here often, I want to take many pictures. <strong>&gt;&gt; Because.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><a id=\"post-63198-_4b7a6udhwhbp\"><\/a>Tip #5: Yet<\/h3>\n<p>We use \u2018yet\u2019 as a conjunction when we want to highlight the word and achieve a stronger effect.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I have been following a diet, <em>yet <\/em>I didn\u2019t lose any weight.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We use \u2018yet\u2019 as an adverb to talk about questioning times with negative meanings, up till now, etc.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>Are the guests up <em>yet<\/em>?<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t touch the walls, they are not dry <em>yet<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><a id=\"post-63198-_6y4kke1ne7ec\"><\/a>Conjunctive Adverbs<\/h2>\n<p>A conjunctive adverb\u2019s purpose is to connect two independent sentences or clauses. We know that adverbs describe other verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Conjunctive adverbs, however, describe two independent clauses and connect them together, and act more like coordinating conjunctions.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a<strong> list of conjunctive adverbs: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Accordingly<\/li>\n<li>Again<\/li>\n<li>All in all<\/li>\n<li>Anyway<\/li>\n<li>Indeed<\/li>\n<li>Besides<\/li>\n<li>Otherwise<\/li>\n<li>However<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>You must study for your exams, <em>otherwise<\/em>, you will not graduate.<\/li>\n<li>I will deep clean the house, <em>next<\/em>, I will take a long, warm shower to relax.<\/li>\n<li>We were supposed to sleep early tonight, <em>however<\/em>, we ended up going dancing.<\/li>\n<li>My daughter is in her ballet class, <em>meanwhile<\/em>, my son is playing football at his school.<\/li>\n<li><em>Indeed <\/em>I will go to the concert, I have been waiting for the band to come here for so long.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Contrast Words<\/h2>\n<p><a id=\"post-63198-_niiue222w53k\"><\/a>Some common contrast words in English include<em> though, however, <\/em>and <em>but<\/em>. These are words that show comparison or contrast of two ideas. They can also be used to emphasize positive or negative ideas.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"post-63198-_f1zuj7p7oipn\"><\/a><em>Though <\/em>and <em>however <\/em>can also be placed at the end of a sentence, but <em>but <\/em>cannot be. When either of these two words are placed at the end of a sentence, it makes the complete sentence seem more like an afterthought rather than a part of the original thought.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"post-63198-_niiue222w53k\"><\/a><strong>Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><a id=\"post-63198-_niiue222w53k\"><\/a>I want to buy some candy, <em>but<\/em> my father does not want me to buy any.<\/li>\n<li><a id=\"post-63198-_niiue222w53k\"><\/a>I want to buy some candy; <em>however<\/em>, my father does not want me to buy any.<\/li>\n<li><a id=\"post-63198-_niiue222w53k\"><\/a>I want to buy some candy.
