CONNECTORS<br />

Retrieved from: Semantics Guide Class: Conjunctive words - also called connectors - are<br />

words that link two similar elements in a sentence. The main categories of conjunctive<br />

words are coordinating conjunctions, such as and or or, and subordinating conjunctions<br />

such as if, so that, because or while. But it is also important to include conjunctive<br />

adverbs. A small number of conjunctions and conjunctive adverbs can link individual<br />

words or phrases; but the majority can only link two clauses.<br />

EXAMPLES:<br />
