Teaching conjunctions communicatively

Teaching conjunction communicatively means teaching students how to use conjunctions in a way that promotes effective communication. This can include teaching the different types of conjunctions (coordinating, subordinating, and correlative) and how they are used to connect ideas and create clear and cohesive sentences. It can also include teaching students how to use conjunctions in context, through activities and exercises that allow them to practice using conjunctions in real-life situations. Additionally, teaching conjunction communicatively may also involve teaching students how to use conjunctions to convey meaning and express themselves clearly in written and spoken language.

Here are some examples of conjunctions:

a. Coordinating conjunctions:

- and (e.g. I'll have coffee and croissants for breakfast)

- or (e.g. Would you prefer pizza or spaghetti?)

- but (e.g. I wanted to go out, but I'm feeling too tired)

- nor (e.g. Neither the movie nor the book was as good as I had hoped)

- for (e.g. I'm going to the store for milk and bread)

- yet (e.g. The sun was shining yet it was cold)

- so (e.g. I'm tired, so I'm going to bed early)

b. Subordinating conjunctions:

- after (e.g. After I finish my homework, I'll watch a movie)

- because (e.g. I can't go to the party because I have to work)

- before (e.g. Before I eat, I like to say grace)

- since (e.g. Since it's raining, we'll have to stay indoors)

- while (e.g. I'll study for my exam while you watch TV)

- as (e.g. As I was walking home, I saw a shooting star)

- if (e.g. If I have time, I'll call you later)

c. Correlative conjunctions:

- both...and (e.g. Both the coffee and the croissant were delicious)

- either...or (e.g. I can either stay home or go out with friends)

- neither...nor (e.g. Neither the book nor the movie was as good as the other)

- whether...or (e.g. I'm not sure whether I should study or watch TV)

- not only...but also (e.g. Not only is he smart, but he is also kind)

- that these lists are not exhaustive. There are many more conjunctions in the English language
