Conjunctions are words that connect two or more words, phrases, or clauses together. There are many different conjunctions, but in this lesson, we will focus on five common conjunctions: and, but, so, or, and because.
And
The conjunction "and" is used to connect two or more words, phrases, or clauses that are similar or related in meaning.
For example:
Sarah and James went to the park.
The dog is brown and white.
I like pizza and pasta.
But
The conjunction "but" is used to connect two clauses that express opposing ideas or to show a contrast between two ideas.
For example:
I wanted to go to the beach, but it was raining.
He is very smart, but he can be lazy sometimes.
She loves chocolate, but she's allergic to it.
So
The conjunction "so" is used to connect two clauses to show a cause and effect relationship. It is often used to show the result of something that happened in the first clause.
For example:
It was raining, so we stayed inside.
I studied hard for the exam, so I got an A.
The store was closed, so we had to go somewhere else.
Or
The conjunction "or" is used to give a choice between two or more options.
For example:
Would you like tea or coffee?
Should we watch a movie or play a game?
Do you want to go to the beach or the mountains?
Because
The conjunction "because" is used to show a reason or a cause. It is often used to explain why something happened.
For example:
I didn't go to the party because I was sick.
She got a job because she has a lot of experience.
He missed the train because he woke up late.
