1️⃣Coordinating conjunctions


Comes usually in the middle of a sentence, and a comma is used before the conjunction (unless both clauses are very short).
They join individual words, phrases, and independent clauses.
Whereas coordinating conjunctions join parts of a sentence, the purpose of transitional words and phrases usually is to join two 'sentences'.

🍂Examples:

🍃We can draw lessons from the past, but we cannot live in it.

🍃The purpose of most computer languages is to lengthen your resume by a word and a comma.

And, but, for, nor, or, so, and yet — are the seven coordinating conjunctions. To remember them, the acronym FANBOYS can be used.

F = for
A = and
N = nor
B = but
O = or
Y = yet
S = so

🍃 Some people make headlines while others make history.

🐊COMPOUND ADJECTIVES🐊

• I saw a man-eating alligator.

We are describing the alligator. What type of alligator is it? It is one that eats men (or people).

• I saw a man eating alligator.

This sentence without the hyphen sounds like a man is eating an alligator.
(man is the subject, eating is the verb, alligator is the object or thing that is being eaten).

As you can see, the hyphen (or lack of it) makes a big difference in the meaning of the sentence.

📘COMPOUND ADJECTIVES📘

How do we know when to put a hyphen? 🤔

If you can use the word “and” between the two adjectives or words, then a hyphen isn't necessary.

🍃 She has a big blue book.

(Big and Blue are adjectives)

Can we say: She has a big and blue book.
✅ Yes, it is possible

🍃 He is a world famous singer.(Is this correct?)🤔

Can we say: He is a world and famous singer.
❎ No, it doesn't sound correct so we need a hyphen to join the words world and famous:

🍃He is a world-famous singer.
✅ Correct

Also, look at the following:

🍃 It's an old coal-mining town.

⚠️Notice how we didn't put a hyphen between the word old and coal. If we had have done that, we would have been referring to old coal, as in coal that is old. We want to emphasis that the town in old and not the coal.

Here we can say:

It is old and a coal-mining one.

3️⃣ Correlative Conjunctions

They are always used in pairs and denote equality; and show the relationship between ideas expressed in different parts of a sentence - and thus make the joining tighter and more emphatic. When joining singular and plural subjects, the subject closest to the verb determines whether the verb is singular or plural.

as . . . as
just as . . . so
both . . . and
hardly . . . when
scarcely . . . when
either . . . or
neither . . . nor

if . . . then
