Connectors
Connectors are
connecting words or conjunctions having 3 types: Coordinating Connectors,
Subordinating Connectors (cause connector, eg: because, because of) and
Correlative Connectors (Not only ... but also, either or ... neither nor, both
... and)
·
Coordinate Connectors
is a hyphen used to
connect two similar grammatical constructs: word, phrase (phrase), or clause
(clause).
The connected elements are usually parallel to the structure grammatically. This hyphen is often used
in compound sentence to connect two independent clauses.
Example :
He didn’t come
last night, for he
fell asleep.
The trainees
laughed and cried
simultaneously.
She didn’t answer
my call, nor did
her friends when I called them last night.

Subordinating Connectors
Is a hyphen that initiates a subordinate clause (in the form of an adverbial clause) that serves to
build an idea relationship between the subordinate clause with the main clause.
The main clause and subordinate clause form a complex sentence.
Subordinate conjunction is used in the subordinate clause, ie the part of the idea is less important than the main clause.
This conjunction has, among other things, the relationship of time, place, contrast, cause-effect, condition, purpose, and manner.
Example :
After I
changed the APN, I unpluged my modem and waited for 5 minutes.
We should be
polite and pleasant wherever we
live.
She goes forward
such a tank although / even though / though many friends confronts her ambition.
· Correlative Connectors
Is a paired word used to indicate the relationship between two words, phrase (phrase), or clause (clause).
The connected sentence element is usually parallel to the structure grammatically.
This word is also called paired conjunction.
Example :
She loves both swimming and running
If you
help him now, then he’ll
repay oneday.
The
more we learn grammar, the less we
face the difficulty in writing.
