Learning English can be a difficult journey. Here at A2Z School of English we aim to help and support your learning and hope that our blog can educate you in your free time.

Today's topic is conjunctions, these are used to join words together so we can understand a sentence better.

Examples

1. Although camping is a good idea, I think the equipment is very expensive

2. I have been studying for my TOEIC since 2011

3. I can't go shopping with you because I am busy

4. He will be at the cinema until 9:30pm

5. I will enrol for a University course in the UK when I complete my IELTS

Correlative Conjunctions

This type of conjunctions are always used in pairs.

Examples

1. This cookie contains neither chocolate nor nuts.

2. The answer to question 1 was either A or B

3. Not only was the staff friendly, but also the course was very interesting

If you have difficulties remembering some of the conjunctions, follow this simple acronym FANBOYS

F (for)

A (and)

N (nor)

B (because)

O (or)

Y (yet)

S (so)
