Conjunction
 Conjunctions are words that join together other
words or groups of words. A coordinating
conjunction connects words, phrases, and clauses
of equal importance. The main coordinating
conjunctions are and, or, and but. They bought
apples, pears, and oranges.
 Example
And, or, so, since, for, because, as, but,
yet, still, while, as soon as, therefore, moreover, in
case, though, although, even though, etc. are some
examples of conjunctions.
Types of conjunction

 There are three kinds of conjunctions:

 Coordinating conjunctions
 Subordinating conjunctions
 Correlative conjunctions
Coordinating conjunctions

 A coordinating conjunction is a conjunction

that connects words, phrases, and clauses
that are coordinate, or equal to each other.
There are seven coordinating conjunctions:
for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. They can be
remembered using the acronym FANBOYS.
Subordinating conjunctions

 A subordinating conjunction is a word or

phrase that links a dependent clause to an
independent clause. This word or phrase
indicates that a clause has informative
value to add to the sentence's main idea,
signaling a cause-and-effect relationship
or a shift in time and place between the
two clauses.
Correlative conjunctions

 Correlative conjunctions are pairs of

words that connect ideas: "Either/or",
"neither/nor", "both/and", "as/so", and
"whether/or" are all examples of
correlative conjunction pairs. When you
see an "either", it's usually time to use its
counterpart, "or".
Prepositions

 A preposition is a word or group of words

used before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase
to show direction, time, place, location,
spatial relationships, or to introduce an
object.
 Example
Some examples of prepositions are
words like "in," "at," "on," "of," and "to."
Prepositions in English are highly idiomatic.
Types of prepositions

 The different types of prepositions are:

 Prepositions of Place.
 Prepositions of Time.
 Prepositions of Direction.
 Prepositions of Location.
 Prepositions of Spatial Relationships.
 Prepositional Phrase.
 Prepositions of Place

 A preposition of place is a preposition which is used to

refer to a place or space where something or someone
is located.
 At – A preposition of place which is used to discuss a
certain point.
 In – A preposition of place which is used to discuss an
enclosed space.
 On – A preposition of time which is used to discuss a
surface.
Prepositions of Time

 Prepositions are words that precede a noun or

pronoun and express a relationship between it
and another word. A preposition of time can
express when something happens at one point
in time or when something happens over an
extended period of time.
Prepositions of Direction

 Prepositions of direction indicate the location

of a noun (a person, place, or thing) in relation
to another noun. Prepositions precede a noun or
a pronoun and often accompany verbs of motion.
This handout covers the prepositions to, toward,
on, and in when they are used to express
movement, direction, or purpose. To.
Prepositions of Location

 Prepositions of location are words

that are used to describe the place
where a certain object is at a certain
time. For you to achieve in
identification of prepositions of
direction, then you have to ensure that
you answer the question where.
Prepositions of Spatial Relationships

 Prepositions of spatial relationships

deal with "where" the subject of the
sentence is or "where" the action is
taking place. Write your name above
the line. Draw a line across the page.
She leans against the tree.
 Prepositional Phrase

 A prepositional phrase is a group of words

consisting of a preposition, its object, and
any words that modify the object. Most of
the time, a prepositional phrase modifies a
verb or a noun. These two kinds of
prepositional phrases are called adverbial
phrases and adjectival phrases, respectively.
