πŸ“š Quick Study Guide

    πŸ” What are Conjunctions? They are words that connect words, phrases, or clauses. βž• Types of Conjunctions:
      🀝 Coordinating Conjunctions: (FANBOYS) - For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So. Used to join words, phrases, or independent clauses of equal importance. πŸ”— Subordinating Conjunctions: Connect an independent clause to a dependent clause (e.g., because, although, if, since, when). βš–οΈ Correlative Conjunctions: Work in pairs (e.g., either/or, neither/nor, both/and).
    πŸ’‘ Example: "I like to read, and my sister likes to draw." ('and' connects two independent clauses). πŸ“ Key Tip: Remember FANBOYS for coordinating conjunctions!
