A conjunction is a linking or joining word. In a sentence, its role is to link (show a relationship between) several words, or it can link two related very short sentences into one longer sentence. One common conjunction is "and." For example, in this sentence: "John and Mary are getting married," the word "and" links John with Mary. Or, here are two short sentences about a related subject: I love Baseball. I'm glad the season is starting. I can use a conjunction to link them: "I love baseball, and I'm glad the season is starting."
Another common conjunction is "but." I love baseball, but I have no money to buy tickets to the game. And another conjunction is "or," which is often used to refer to one of two choices: "We can go fishing or we can go hunting." The word "so" can also be used as a conjunction: "He was really tired, so he went to bed."
A conjunction is a part of speech that connects words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence. It helps to show the relationship between the connected elements. Conjunctions can be used to indicate choices (e.g., "or"), connections (e.g., "and"), or relationships (e.g., "but").
I went to the store and bought some groceries.
No, the word "so" is not a conjunction. It is typically used as an adverb or coordinating conjunction, but can also function as an intensifier or pronoun in certain contexts.
"Its" is not a conjunction. It is a possessive pronoun used to indicate ownership or belonging. The word "it's" (with an apostrophe) is a contraction of "it is" or "it has" and can function as a conjunction.
Yes, the word "if" can function as a conjunction when used to introduce subordinate clauses expressing conditions or contingencies.
"And" is not always a conjunction. It can also function as a coordinating conjunction, a part of speech that connects words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence.
No, "however" is an adverb. It is used to connect ideas within a sentence or between sentences, but it does not introduce a subordinate clause.
I went to the store and bought some groceries.
"Its" is not a conjunction. It is a possessive pronoun used to indicate ownership or belonging. The word "it's" (with an apostrophe) is a contraction of "it is" or "it has" and can function as a conjunction.
