Conjunction (parts of speech)

Parts of Speech

Conjunction: a word that joins together sentences, clauses, phrases, or words.

1. For - क्योंकि

E.g. ‘We love God, for he first loved us.

2. And - और
Used to connect words of the same part of speech, clauses, or sentences, that are to be taken jointly.

E.g. Bread and butter.

3. Nor - और न
Used before the second or further of two or more alternatives (the first being introduced by a negative such as ‘neither’ or ‘not’) to indicate that they are each untrue or each do not happen.

E.g. They were neither cheap nor convenient.

4. But - लेकिन
Used to introduce a phrase or clause contrasting with what has already been mentioned.

E.g. He stumbled but didn't fall.

5. Or - या
Used to link alternatives.

E.g. A cup of tea or coffee.

6. Yet - फिर भी
But at the same time; but nevertheless.

E.g. The path was dark, yet I slowly found my way.

7. So - इसलिये
And for this reason; therefore.

E.g. It was still painful so I went to see a specialist.
