=== '''conjunctions''' === | |||
* combine words, phrases, and clauses | |||
*note: the word '''however''' is NOT a conjunction, | |||
==== '''coordinating conjunction''' (CJ) ==== | |||
*combines ICs (FANBOYS) | |||
**''I was hungry, so I bought a burger'' | |||
*'''note''': the word '''however''' is NOT a coordinating conjunction ("FANBOYS" does not have an "H" !), | |||
**therefore it must be combined with another CJ or a semicolon if combining two ICs | **therefore it must be combined with another CJ or a semicolon if combining two ICs | ||
**'''subordinating conjunction''' ( | **"however" is a "conjunctive adverb", or "transition word" | ||
==== '''subordinating conjunction''' (SC) ==== | |||
* = turns an IC into a DC by requiring additional ideas to complete the thought of the clause | |||
*ex. ''I was hungry, so I bought a burger'' = two IC w/ a CC | |||
*whereas, if we use the SC "'''since'''" | |||
**= ''Since I was hungry, I bought a burger'' | |||
** = DC, IC ("Since I was hungry is not a complete thought, therefore it is a DC, or subordinate clause) | |||
