  1. Conjunction (Junction) Definition: A word used to join words or groups of words. *The School House Rocks song used the idea of a train junction where train cars get joined to together to match the idea of words getting joined together by a conjunction.

  2. Types of Conjunctions • Coordinating Conjunctionsalways connect items of the same kind. They can join single items or groups of items. Coordinating Conjunctions include: and, but, for, nor, or, so and yet

  3. Examples of Coordinating Conjunctions *songs and lyrics (two nouns) *in sickness or in health (two phrases) *First it rained, but the rain stopped quickly. (two complete ideas)

  4. Types of Conjunctions • Correlative Conjunctions also connect items of the same kind. However, Correlative Conjunctions always act in pairs. Correlative Conjunctions include: both…..and neither…….nor either…….or not only…….but also whether………or

  5. Examples of Correlative Conjunctions *Both dogs and cats make good pets. (2 nouns) *You should set flowers not only on the table, but also in the basket. (2 phrases) *Eitherborrow a book orbuy a magazine. (2 complete ideas)

  6. Types of Conjunctions • Subordinating Conjunctions join two clauses (groups of words that form an idea together) in a way that makes one dependent on the other. The clause a subordinating conjunction introduces cannot stand alone- it needs the second clause. Example: I cannot eat that cheese because it is too moldy. We will go swimming after we hike to the lake.

  7. Subordinating Conjunctions Here are some subordinating conjunctions: after considering (that) so that whereas although as if than wherever as far as if though while as long as in as much as unless as soon as in order that until as though provided (that) when because since whenever before so long as where

  8. Examples of Subordinating Conjunctions Shamrock is so stinky because he likes to roll around in garbage. I will eat cheese as long asit is fresh. We will rake the leaves when more fall.

  9. Practice with Conjunctions For each sentence, identify the conjunctions. I want to take a nap and drink hot chocolate. She is neither a doctor nor a nurse. Both Swiss and cheddar are good cheeses. I will make apple pie after we go to the store.

  10. Interjections Definition: A word that is used to express emotion. It has no grammatical relation to the rest of the sentence. Since an interjection is unrelated to other words in the sentence, it is set off from the rest of the sentence by an exclamation point or comma.

  11. Examples Hooray! I have grown another toe! Oh, that’s creepy. Your feet are pretty, but, eww, that eleventh toe is weird. No! My new toe just fell off!
