Dear Forum Member and Friend,The Forum has put together an intensive six-part review of the three major types of grammar connectives—the coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions, and conjunctive adverbs—so you can more confidently and clearly establish as well as better navigate the sense and logic of what you are writing or talking about.
The six-part intensive review consists of the following:
Part 1 - THE COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS https://josecarilloforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=8204.0 The 7 “fanboys”—“and,” ‘nor,” “but,” “or,” “yet,” and “so”—are the most basic conjunctions for creating what’s known as a
compound element, which can be a compound subject, compound predicate, or compound sentence.
Part 2 - THE SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS https://josecarilloforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=8206.0 The 32 subordinating conjunctions are the connectives for functionally linking a dependent idea to the independent or main
idea of the sentence.
Part 3 - THE CONJUNCTIVE ADVERBS https://josecarilloforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=8208.0 The 51 most common conjunctive adverbs more strongly establish the logical relationship and provide transition between two
independent clauses, across sentence boundaries, or between paragraphs.
Part 4 - MASTERY OF THE CONNECTIVES IS A MAJOR KEY TO BETTER ENGLISH https://josecarilloforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=8209.0 The coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions, and conjunctive adverbs are the primary logical operators of the
English language.
Part 5– THE CHOICE OF CONNECTIVES IS CRUCIAL TO ESTABLISHING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IDEAS IN DIFFERENT
CLAUSES https://josecarilloforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=8212.0 The three major types of connectives explicitly signal the logical relations between clauses, between sentences, and between
or across sentences and paragraphs.
Part 6 - CHOOSING THE RIGHT CONNECTIVES FOR OUR IDEAS - 1 and 2 https://josecarilloforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=8215.0 Conjunctive adverbs provide a much more forceful transition than their equivalent coordinating conjunctions, and the choice
between them largely sets the tone or language register of your writing or speech.
With this intensive six-part review, you definitely can become much more confident in using the three primary connectives for conveying the sense and logic of your written and spoken English.
