Conjunction

Conjunctions are the words we use to link or join two or more sentences together or two words within the same sentence. The most common conjunctions in English are: and, but, or, nor, for. For example: We eat at home and work in the office (The conjunction "and" joins the sentences: "we eat at home" with "we work in the office"). There are two kinds of conjunctions Coordinating. Subordinating. Coordinating Coordinating conjunctions are used when we want to join two sentences that work at the same level of importance in our speech, both actions are equally important. These conjunctions are: And Now But Still So Only Therefore Moreover Besides Consequently Nevertheless For However Hence Either...or... Neither... nor... Both... and Not only... but also While Then So then For expample: They went to the beach and had lunch there In this example we are using the coordinating conjunction "and" to join two different sentences, "They went to the beach" with "(they) had lunch there". Subordinating Subordinating conjunctions are used to join two sentences when one of them is depending on the first one. The majority of conjunctions are "subordinating conjunctions". They are: Who Which That Although, though While Since Until As As if, as though After Before How Once So that When Lest Why If In order that Unless Whether... or Because of Till Where Whether *A subordinate or dependent clause "depends" on a       main or independent clause. It cannot exist alone. *      For example: "Although I work hard" does not make      any sense. But a main or independent clause can exist     alone.    For example: "I'm still broke."   For example: This is the restaurant that I told you about In this example, the subordinating conjunction "that" introduces the sentence "I told you about" which is dependent on the first sentence "this is the restaurant". *Position: Coordinating conjunctions always come between the words or clauses that they join. Subordinating conjunctions usually come at the beginning of the subordinate clause.

Learning Sentences

What are Sentences? A group of words that expresses a complete thought. This video is very useful for teachers to teach their students how to make sentences.

Adverbs

Adverbs tell us in what way someone does something. Adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs.

Adjectives tell us something about a person or a thing. Adjectives can modify nouns or pronouns.

Adjective	Adverb
Mandy is a careful girl.	Mandy drives carefully.
Mandy is very careful.

*Mandy is a careful driver. This sentence is about Mandy, the driver, so use the adjective.

*Mandy drives carefully. This sentence is about her way of driving, so use the adverb.
