ABSTRACT
Conjunctions can link individual words within the sentence or clauses in compound and complex sentences. Conjunctions can govern neither a noun nor a pronoun nor have a role in their declension. Conjunctions can be divided into two large groups depending on the type of the connections they support: co-ordinating conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions. Some conjunctions can appear in either category depending on use. Co-ordinating conjunctions can connect either words that have a similar role within one sentence or independent clauses in compound sentences. Subordinating conjunctions link the main clause of a complex sentence to a subordinate clause or clauses. The subordinate clause(s) clarifies the complete idea expressed by the main clause. Particles do not have a meaning of their own; they are common in informal speech. Their main role is to bring emotional emphasis to the word, phrase or sentence. Additionally, particles are used in negative constructions, conditional sentences and some verbal forms.
