Conjunctions are some of the shortest words in the English language, but they do some of the heaviest lifting. Words like and or but are popular conjunctions. They hook up words, clauses, and phrases, creating in-depth and complex sentences.

Conditional conjunctions are an interesting bunch, however. They're found in sentences where one clause describes something that happened or will happen - if the condition of the other clause is satisfied. Conditional conjunctions can be a single word like if or several words like as long as. When placed at the beginning of the clause, these conjunctions describe the condition that needs to be met for something to happen.

Conditional Conjunctions in Sentences

Since conditional conjunctions preface clauses that are dependent upon some sort of action, it comes as no surprise that one of the two clauses in the sentence is going to be a dependent clause, or one that cannot stand alone as a complete thought. That means, the second clause is going to be an independent clause, or one that can stand alone as a complete sentence.

Try to note the dependent and independent clauses in each of the examples of conditional conjunctions below:

After - After he gets the promotion, he will get a new office.

As a consequence of - As a consequence of studying hard, you will pass the exam.

As a result of - As a result of seismic testing, oil was discovered on Henry's land.

As long as - As long as I am capable, I will ride my bike to work.

As soon as - The parade will start as soon as the mayor arrives.

Assuming - You can get a red dress, assuming one is on sale.

Because - Because it's raining, we will take our umbrellas.

Before - She will finish the report before the meeting.

But for - We would have been lost, but for the map.

Even if - Even if she loses her job, she will still have a job in education.

If - If you brush and floss every day, you probably won't get cavities.

If only - If only I'd practiced longer, I would have made the shot.

Once - Once the chores are done, we will go to the park.

Only if - We will perform a few songs, only if the profits go to charity.

On the condition that - You will get the job, on the condition that you will work every other Saturday.

Provided - I will go to the prom with you, provided you apologize.

Providing - We will give you the money, providing you can pay it back within six months.

Since - Since it is autumn, there are many leaves on the ground.

Therefore - The mortgage wasn't paid, therefore the bank foreclosed.

Unless - Unless you've purchased tickets, you won't be able to attend the show.

Until - They don't talk to me until I talk to them.

When - When I get hungry, I will go to a restaurant.

Whenever - Whenever I eat spicy food, I get hives.

Wherever - Wherever there are flowers, bees will come to pollinate.

Whether - He spent all his paycheck on clothes, whether that was smart or not.

Yet - The picnic was interrupted by rain, yet we all had a fabulous time.

Conditional Conjunctions and Commas

Conditional conjunctions are interesting little connectors, huh? You can see how they allow us to expand our thoughts into fuller sentences. Although our focus was on the conjunctions themselves, as well as the dependent clauses, did you notice something about the punctuation in each of the example sentences above?

Nearly every sentence required a comma. To make sure you always nail you grammar and punctuation, whether you're toying with conditional conjunctions or not, take a look at this article outlining 8 Times Commas Were Important. This little punctuation mark will be your new best friend, second only to the period.

To express purpose in English, we use various conjunctions. For example, you can use to, so that, that´s why or for. In this post, you will find several activities which can be used to teach the usage of the conjunctions so that, to and for.

To help you with teaching these conjunctions we offer:

We hope you find these materials useful.

As a starter, play the following video. It is based on the BBC recording called Grammar Challenge. You can find the original recording here. The pause in the recording is there on purpose. In this pause, the students should supply the correct answer.

If you would like to try the interactive version, you can use the following video:
Expressing purpose in English - interactive video

After the video, display the following infographic and let the students study it for a while. Then ask them to explain the usage of the conjunctions.
ADVERT:

The grammar is quite simple:

FOR has to be followed by a verb ending with -ing

SO THAT is followed by a subject and a verb

TO is followed by an infinitive.

Now, it is time to practise what the students learnt.

The first game is called Shooting. Students read the sentence and click the word that should complete the it. If they choose the right word they will see a yellow cloud. If they shoot the wrong word, they will see a red cloud and if they miss they see a grey cloud. The quicker they are the more points they get. The best scores get entered into the leaderboard.

Expressing purpose in English - Shooting game

The second game is called Time guess. Complete the sentence with the correct word (TO, SO THAT and FOR) and then click the stop button when the countdown reaches zero. The closer to zero you get the more points you receive.

The third game is called Dice. Your task is to complete the sentences with the words TO, SO THAT and FOR and then click the stop button to get as many points on the dice as possible. If you stop the dice and they show the same number you get a bonus - ten points. Good luck.

So - The Coordinating Conjunction

Most students know how to use 'so'. It is a coordinating conjunction, which means it can join two independent clauses. It is used to show cause & effect (result). For example:

So has a meaning of 'therefore' here (except 'therefore' is not a conjunction).

So (that) - The Subordinating Conjunction

So that has a meaning similar to 'in order to/in order that'. It describes the purpose of an action. It begins a subordinate clause (a clause that is dependent on a main clause). For example:
The teacher spoke slowly so that his students would understand the lesson.
Here,his students understanding the lesson is the purpose/aim of the action of speaking slowly. It is not the result. In this sentence, we don't know the result. We only know that he spoke slowly for the purpose of helping them understand.

Here are some more examples:

She exercises so that she can lose weight. (this is her purpose for exercising)

We should recycle so that our children can enjoy our planet in the future. (purpose, not effect)

The Confusing Part: 'That' is optional in 'So that'

You can say either of these:

She exercises so that she can lose weight. (purpose)

She exercises so she can lose weight. (purpose)

The word (that) is optional.

In other words, anytime you can say 'so that', you can also shorten it to 'so'. However, you cannot use 'so that' if you are talking about the effect (result) of an action (you can only use so). For example:

It was cheap so that I bought it. (we are talking about the result, not purpose)

What's the answer here?

1. The movie was boring, _______ we stopped watching it. (show answer)

2. She is studying Spanish ______ she can communicate when she moves to Spain next year. (show answer)

Try some more exercises on the difference between so and so that below.

Practice Exercises: So vs. So that

In these exercises, choose between 'so' as a coordinating conjunction used for cause and effect, and 'so (that)' as a subordinate conjunction used to show purpose.

Coordinating conjunctions are the most popular category of conjunctions. Simply put, they bring equally important ideas together. They can join words, phrases and clauses of equal importance and grammatical rank. Keep reading to see several coordinating conjunction examples that will make their function clear.

coordinating conjunction examples with FANBOYS acronym

The Coordinating Conjunctions

The English language has seven coordinating conjunctions. They're easy to remember if you can just remember the acronym FANBOYS: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So. Coordinating conjunctions are important when creating compound sentences or when contrasting different ideas. Here are some examples of each coordinating conjunction in action.

And: Joins Two Ideas

The second coordinating conjunction in F ANBOYS, " And," adds one thing to another. It can be used to join two nouns, two verbs, two adjectives, two phrases, or two independent clauses. Examples of "and" in a sentence include:

"And" is one of the most common coordinating conjunctions in English. Notice how it connects two of the same part of speech or two clauses with equal importance.

Using Commas With Coordinating Conjunctions

You'll notice that some of the coordinating conjunction examples are preceded by a comma while others are not. If a coordinating conjunction is joining together two independent clauses, it needs to have a comma with it. Independent clauses have the ability to stand alone as complete sentences.

For example: "Television is a wonderful escape, but it interferes with my writing." Because these are two independent clauses, they must be joined together by a comma and a coordinating conjunction. Leaving out the comma may lead to run-on sentences.

Can You Begin a Sentence With a Coordinating Conjunction?

Another misconception is that it's incorrect to begin a sentence with a coordinating conjunction. While this is a good rule of thumb, it's not a hard and fast rule of grammar as long as your sentence still connects to the sentence before it. For example:

The grocery store was closed, so we went to the farmer's market instead.

The grocery store was closed. So, we went to the farmer's market instead.

The students like their teacher, yet they wish he graded more fairly.

The students like their teacher. Yet they wish he graded more fairly.

We could have dinner before the movie, or we could grab a bite afterward.

We could have dinner before the movie. Or, we could grab a bite afterward.

You might want to limit how often you begin a sentence with a coordinating conjunction. However, it's not incorrect to do so, especially if it'll break up a particularly long sentence into more understandable chunks. It's an effective way to vary your writing style if needed.

Coordinating Conjunctions vs. Conjunctive Adverbs

You may be thinking "Wait! I know there are more coordinating conjunctions than those seven!" If you're wondering why words like "however," "therefore" and "also" aren't considered coordinating conjunctions, that's because they're conjunctive adverbs. Conjunctive adverbs join two clauses with a semicolon or in a new sentence, and modify the first clause with the second clause.

Quality and Complexity

Coordinating conjunctions are the simplest of all the conjunctions to recognize and master. Knowing how they work will improve the quality and complexity of your writing. If you're ready for different types of conjunctions, there are lots of ways to start. Practice putting each one in its correct place with these conjunction exercises that are sure to reinforce your new grammar knowledge.

Subordinate clauses and puctuation.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Printer Fabulous!

Recognize a subordinate clause when you find one.

A subordinate clause-also called a dependent clause-will begin with a subordinate conjunction or a relative pronoun. Like all clauses, it will have both a subject and a verb.

This combination of words will not form a complete sentence. It will instead make a reader want additional information to finish the thought.

Here is a list of subordinate conjunctions:

Here are the relative pronouns:

Now read these examples:

After Amy sneezed all over the tuna salad

Once Adam smashed the spider

Until Mr. Sanchez has his first cup of coffee

Who ate handfuls of bran flakes with his bare hands

Who = relative pronoun (functioning as the subject); ate = verb.

Remember this important point: A subordinate clause cannot stand alone as a sentence because the reader is left wondering, "So what happened?" When a word group begins with a capital letter and ends with a period, you must include at least one main clause to complete the thought. Otherwise, you have written a fragment, a major error.

After Amy sneezed all over the tuna salad.

So what happened? Did Amy throw the salad down the garbage disposal or serve it on toast to her friends? No complete thought = fragment.

Once Adam smashed the spider.

So what happened? Did Belinda cheer him for his bravery or lecture him on animal rights? No complete thought = fragment.

Until Mr. Sanchez has his first cup of coffee.

So what happens? Is he too sleepy to work, or does he have a grumpy disposition? No complete thought = fragment.

Who ate handfuls of bran flakes with his bare hands.

So what happened? Were the roommates shocked, or did they ask him to pass the cereal box so that they could do the same? No complete thought = fragment.

Punctuate a subordinate clause correctly.

When you attach a subordinate clause in front of a main clause, use a comma:

Even though the broccoli was covered in cheddar cheese , Emily refused to eat it.

Unless Christine finishes her calculus homework , she will have to suffer Professor Nguyen's wrath in class tomorrow.

While Bailey slept on the sofa in front of the television , Samson, the family dog, gnawed on the leg of the coffee table.

When you attach a subordinate clause at the end of a main clause, you will generally use no punctuation:

Main Clause + Ø + Subordinate Clause.

Tanya did poorly on her history exam because her best friend Giselle insisted on gossiping during their study session the night before.

Jonathon spent his class time reading comic books since his average was a 45 one week before final exams.

Diane decided to plant tomatoes in the back yard where the sun blazed the longest during the day.

Punctuation gets tricky with adjective clauses.

An adjective clause is a subordinate clause that begins with a relative pronoun such as who, which, or that.

This type of clause requires no punctuation when it is essential and comma(s) when it is nonessential. How do you make that determination?

When the information in the clause clarifies a general noun, the clause is essential and will follow the same pattern that you saw above:

Main Clause + Ø + Essential Adjective Clause.

Nick gave a handful of potato chips to the dog that was sniffing around the picnic table.

Dog is a general noun. Which one are we talking about? The adjective clause that was sniffing around the picnic table clarifies which animal we mean. The clause is thus essential and requires no punctuation.

When the adjective clause follows a specifi c noun, the punctuation changes. The information in the clause does not have the same importance, so the clause becomes nonessential, requiring a comma to connect it.

Nick gave a handful of potato chips to Button, who was sniffing around the picnic table.

Button, the name of a unique dog, lets us know which animal we mean. The information in the adjective clause has diminished impact, which you indicate with the comma.

Adjective clauses can also interrupt a main clause. When this happens, use no punctuation for an essential clause. But if the clause is nonessential, separate it with a comma in front and a comma behind.

Read these examples:

After dripping mustard all over his chest, the man who was wearing a red shirt wished that he had instead chosen ketchup for his hotdog.

Use subordination to combine ideas effectively.

Writers use subordination to combine two ideas into a single sentence.

Read these two simple sentences:

Rhonda gasped. A six-foot snake slithered across the sidewalk.

Since the two simple sentences are related, you can combine them to express the action more effectively:

Rhonda gasped when a six-foot snake slithered across the sidewalk.

If the two ideas have unequal importance, save the most important one for the end of the sentence so that your readers remember it best.

If we rewrite the example above so that the two ideas are flipped, the wrong point gets emphasized:

When a six-foot snake slithered across the side walk, Rhonda gasped.

Readers are less concerned with Rhonda's reaction than the presence of a giant snake on the sidewalk!
