ADJECTIVES AND CONJUNCTIONS

 

Using Adjectives and Conjunctions

Adjectives

Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns and pronouns. They give more information about an object's size, shape, age, color, origin, or material.

Examples:

- The red car is fast. (red describes the car)

- She has a beautiful smile. (beautiful describes the smile)

- I bought three apples. (three describes the apples)

How to use adjectives

1. Place the adjective can come before the noun it describes: a tall building.

2. Sometimes, adjectives can come after the verb, especially with linking verbs: The sky is blue.

Conjunctions

Conjunctions are words that connect words, phrases, or clauses. 

Coordinating conjunctions

 and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet( FANBOYS)

Subordinating conjunctions

because, although, since, unless, if, when, etc.

Correlative conjunctions

 either...or, neither...nor, not only...but also

Examples

How to use conjunctions

 We Use coordinating conjunctions to join sentences of similar elements,He likes tea and coffee.

We Use subordinating conjunctions to join dependent and independent clauses:

We Use correlative conjunctions in pairs: Either you study or you fail.
