• Adverb

-What is an adverb?

An adverb is a word that modifies (describes) a verb (he sings loudly), an adjective (very tall), another adverb (ended too quickly), or even a whole sentence (Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella). Adverbs often end in -ly, but some (such as fast) look exactly the same as their adjective counterparts.

Example:

-Tom Longboat did not run badly.

-Tom is very tall.

-The race finished too quickly.

Fortunately, Lucy recorded Tom’s win.

It’s easy to identify adverbs in these sentences.

• Conjunction

 A conjunction is a word like and, but, although, because. Conjunctions have an important function because they join other words and phrases together. Without conjunctions, we could only make very, very simple sentences. See also What is a Conjunction?

Introduction to Conjunctions

We can consider conjunctions from three aspects.

1. What do Conjunctions Do?

Conjunctions have two basic functions or "jobs":

Coordinating conjunctions are used to join two parts of a sentence that are grammatically equal. The two parts may be single words or clauses, for example:

- Jack and Jill went up the hill.

- The water was warm, but I didn't go swimming.

Subordinating conjunctions are used to join a subordinate dependent clause to a main clause, for example:

- I went swimming although it was cold.

Here are some example conjunctions:

Coordinating conjunctions Subordinating conjunctions

and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so although, because, since, unless.

2. What do Conjunctions Look Like?

Conjunctions have three basic formats:

single word

for example: and, but, because, although

compound (often ending with as or that)

for example: provided that, as long as, in order that

correlative (surrounding an adverb or adjective)

for example: so...that

3. Where do Conjunctions Go?

Coordinating conjunctions always come between the words or clauses that they join.

Subordinating conjunctions usually come at the beginning of the subordinate clause.
