Latest English Conjunctions and How to Use them in IELTS Exam 2022
What Are Conjunctions?
A conjunction is a part of speech, just like a noun, verb or pronoun. The basic purpose of a conjunction is to combine other parts of speech.
Conjunctions can combine two basic words:
- Do you prefer fried rice or biryani?
- I run and play every day.
They can also combine clauses:
- Until next month, I can’t afford to go for trip.
Or, you can take two sentences and combine them into one sentence with a conjunction. For example, look at these sentences:
- I can play the guitar.
- My friend can sing.
Using the conjunction “and,” you can create one sentence:
- I can play the guitar, and my friend can sing.
- I like college.
- I don’t like economics.
You can combine these two ideas into one sentence using the word “but,” which connects two opposing ideas:
- “I like college, but I don’t like economics class.”
- “I like college, but I don’t like economics class.”
Not only Conjunctions can be useful but they are convenient as well.
Here is the list of top used conjunction words that you can use in daily life:
