English Language and Grammar - Conjunctions

In this class, you will learn all about conjunctions.

Conjunctions are the words that join thing together. In this class, we look at three different sorts of conjunctions, namely:

• coordinating conjunctions
• subordinating conjunctions
• correlative conjunctions

As usual, there is a class project for you to test your knowledge.

As you learned in the course, conjunctions are used to join things together.

These exercises are here for you to practise using conjunctions.

I'll show you what I mean with an example:

Anne's hair is long. Anne's hair is brown.

We can combine these two short sentences into one better one.

Anne's hair is long and brown.
