Connecting Ideas using Conjunctions in an Argumentative Text (MOD2) Flashcards
Q2
is the glue that holds words, phrases and clauses (both dependent and independent) together.
Conjunction
three different kinds of conjunctions
coordinating,
subordinating,
correlative
type of conjunction that link ideas by showing how they relate. For example, a word like “and” indicates two ideas go together
Coordinating conjunctions
A conjunction that indicates that one idea depends on another. For instance, in this sentence the word “unless” depends on the action that follows it:
Example:
We will be late unless we leave now.
subordinating
conjunction
A conjunction that join elements within a sentence, indicating the two are of
equal importance. The words “neither” and “nor” work this way in this sentence:
Example:
I like neither carrots nor celery
Correlative conjunctions
