Writing short sentences all the time an get pretty boring. Conjunctions are a way to spice up your prose! In Conjunctions for Kids, you will learn about the three different types of conjunctions and how they work in sentences. Conjunctions can combine words, phrases, and sentences. But this video concentrates specifically on combining sentences.
Sometimes, using conjunctions in your writing can make it more interesting, and even easier to understand! But what exactly is a conjunction? Well, let's first explain what a junction is. A junction is a place where two different things come together. Think of a train junction where a road meets train tracks. Conjunctions do the same things in language.
Coordinating conjunctions are the ones you might be the most familiar with. These are the words like and, but, and or. A common acronym people use to remember the seven coordinating conjunctions is FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. If you can remember that acronym, it will really easy to remember the coordinating conjunctions!
Another type of conjunction is the correlative. To correlate means to compare or relate. These conjunctions are used in pairs to combine alternative or equal elements. Examples of correlative conjunctions include either/or, if/then, and not only/but also. Subordinating conjunctions are the last type. These are words or phrases that connect dependent clauses to independent clauses. You can also use subordinating conjunctions to introduce adverb clauses.
