CONJUNCTIONS.

6. A Conjunction is a word that joins sentences together.

(i) The word and, besides joining sentences, possesses the additional power of joining nouns or other words. Thus we say, “John and Jane are a happy pair;” “Two and three are five.”

7. Conjunctions are of two kinds: (i) Co-ordinative; and (ii) Subordinative.

(i) Co-ordinative Conjunctions are those which connect co-ordinate sentences and clauses—that is, sentences neither of which is dependant on the other. The following is a list: And, both, but, either—or, neither—nor.

(ii) Subordinative Conjunctions are those which connect subordinate sentences with the principal sentence to which they are subordinate. The type of a subordinative conjunction is that, which is really the demonstrative pronoun. “I know that he has gone to London” is= “He has gone to London: I know that.”

(iii) The following is a list of subordinative conjunctions: After, before; ere, till; while, since; lest; because, as; for; if; unless; though; whether—or; than.
