It's an essential English grammar subject, with applications such as error detection and fill-in-the-blanks. Let's look at several examples to help us understand the concept of Conjunctions:

 

TYPES OF CONJUNCTION

 

Coordinate Conjunctions: –are used to join clauses/words of equal rank.

E.g. Ram is rich and happy.

He came to meet me but I was not at home.

He is neither my friend nor my relative.


Sub-ordinate Conjunctions: – are used to join clauses/words of unequal rank.

E.g. She came because I called her.

Though he is great, he is humble.


Correlative Conjunctions: – are conjunctions that are used in pairs.

E.g. She is both glamorous and intelligent.

He is either a doctor or a surgeon.


Compound Conjunctions: – are the groups of words that are used to connect phrases/clauses.

E.g. He applied for a job in order to help his parents.

 

As soon as he reaches, I will inform you.

When there is only one of a naming word (noun), it is said to be a  singular noun . When a noun shows more than one, it is said to be in the  plural . We can add  –S, -es, -ves or ies  to show that there is more than one noun.  For example,  we say many birds, four biscuits, six brushes.
