Now, what is the use of the words and, or, and but in words,
phrases and sentences? _____________Exactly! They connect
words or group of words. The words and,but and or are called
coordinate conjunctions.
Coordinate conjunctions connect words, phrases or clauses to connect ideas
logically.
The following are additional list of coordinating conjunctions:

.

You have already learned that a clause is a group of words with a subject and
a predicate. There are two kinds of clauses.

Clauses

independent Dependent or subordinate

An independent clause expresses a complete thought and can stand by itself

as a sentence.

Example: Many children love Jollibee.

We should limit our food intake from the fast food.
A dependent or subordinate clause does not express a complete thought. It
cannot stand on its own.
Example: because it is appealing to their eyes
Since it cannot provide the right nourishment

Now, let us put together the two sets of clauses.

Many children love Jollibee because it is appealing to their eyes.

We should limit our food intake from the fast food since it cannot provide the right
nourishment.

Can you see the words that connect the subordinate clause to the independent
clause? These words are called subordinate conjunctions.
Subordinate conjunction introduces a subordinate or dependent clause and
connects it to the main or independent clause. It shows clear and precise relationship
with the independent clauses.

The following are among the commonly used subordinate conjunctions:

Subordinate conjunctions that show As, in order that, since, because
reason
Subordinate conjunctions for Although, as, even though, whereas, while
concession and comparison
Subordinate conjunctions for If, even if, unless, in case, provided that,
condition on the condition that
