Let’s Learn Conjunctions
A conjunction is a word that joins together words, groups of words or sentences.
A conjunction can join nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs.
Look at the picture and read.
Give me a pen.
Give me a pencil.
In the above sentences, the group of word give me is used twice which does not sound
good. So we use some other word to make the sentence sound better.
Now, read the sentence.
Give me a pen and
a pencil.
Here, the word and joins two sentences. It is a conjunction.
‘Give me’ is repeated, so it goes away as you join the second sentence with and.
