DEFINITION (fragment from LSEG Definition M9) "Conjunction" is the sentence element used to link two similar sentence/syntactic elements, or two clauses in a complex sentence in which both are working together towards building the meaning . . .  Subordinating conjunctions set/mark important relations between the
clauses of a complex sentence. However, in many instances similar
subordinating relations may be achieved using other sentence elements
working as "conjunction-equivalents". For example:a. interrogative and relative adjectives b. interrogative and relative pronouns c. interrogative and relative adverbs d. adverbs working as conjunctions The structure employed to present conjunctions is: 1. Types of Conjunctions 2. Conjunctions' Functions 3. Particular Conjunctions | |||||||||||||||||||||
