2013-11-15T15:35:02Z

BeckyLastName:

The purpose of '''conjunctive adverbs''' is to join [[What is the difference between a phrase and a clause?| clauses]], phrases, or ideas. When joining two [[What is an independent clause?| independent clauses]], conjunctive adverbs are performing the same function as [[What are “coordinating conjunctions”?| coordinating conjunctions]]; however, the [[How do you usually punctuate conjunctive adverbs?| rules of punctuation]] are different (Simmons 2013).

Here is a list of common conjunctive adverbs:

[[File:ConjunctiveAdverbs.jpg]]

==The Rules==
The rules of punctuation when using conjunctive adverbs vary depending on the placement and use of the adverb.

There are three main variations:
<ul>
<li>If the adverb separates two independent clauses, the structure is as follows: 
Clause1; adverb, clause2. Notice how the clauses are separated with a semicolon instead of a comma.</li>
<li>If the adverb falls anywhere within a single independent clause, the adverb and clause are separated by a comma: 
Adverb, clause. '''''or''''' Beginning of clause, adverb, end of clause. '''''or''''' Clause, adverb ("Using Conjunctive Adverbs" 2012).</li>
<li>If the adverb creates a weak interruption within a sentence, no commas are necessary (Simmons 2013).</li>
</ul>

==Usage==
Here are some examples of each variation that correspond with the bullets in the above section:
'''Ex.''' Alice accepted Robert's invitation to the prom; ''subsequently'', she spent the rest of her day thinking about what to wear.

'''Ex.''' ''Conversely'', Robert could focus on nothing with so many thoughts running through his mind.

'''Ex.''' When the prom came, everything was perfect. Robert and Alice could ''finally'' enjoy their time together.

What are “conjunctive adverbs”?

2013-11-14T18:11:02Z

BeckyLastName:

The purpose of '''conjunctive adverbs''' is to join clauses, phrases, or ideas. When joining two [[What is an independent clause?| independent clauses]], conjunctive adverbs are performing the same function as [[What are “coordinating conjunctions”?| coordinating conjunctions]]; however, the rules of punctuation are different (Simmons 2013).

Here is a list of common conjunctive adverbs:

[[File:ConjunctiveAdverbs.jpg]]

==The Rules==
The rules of punctuation when using conjunctive adverbs vary depending on the placement and use of the adverb.

There are three main variations:
<ol>
<li>If the adverb separates two independent clauses, the structure is as follows: 
Clause1; adverb, clause2.</li>
<li>If the adverb falls anywhere within a single independent clause, the structure is as follows: 
Adverb, clause. '''or''' Beginning of clause, adverb, end of clause. '''or''' Clause, adverb ("Using Conjunctive Adverbs" 2012).</li>
<li>If the adverb creates a weak interruption within a sentence, no commas are necessary (Simmons 2013).</li>

What are "subordinating conjunctions"?

2013-11-07T02:59:44Z

BeckyLastName:

'''Subordinating conjunctions''', also known as '''subordinators''' or '''dependent words''', are a subset of conjunctions used specifically to join a [[subordinate clause]] to an [[What is an independent clause?| independent clause]]. The subordinating conjunction appears at the beginning or middle of a sentence and denotes which clause depends on the main idea for context ("Conjunctions"). 
The following groupings list examples for each type of subordinator ("Subordinators").

'''Comparison and Contrast''': although, though, even though, while, whereas

'''Cause and Effect''': since, so that, because

'''Time''': after, when, until, whenever, before

'''Possibility''': if, as if, whether, unless

'''Place and Manner''': wherever, where, how

[[File:SubordinatingConjunctions.jpg.jpg|thumb|right|alt=A subordinating conjunction comes between an independent clause and a dependent clause.|A cartoon representation of a subordinating conjunction in action.]]
== The Rules ==

Subordinate clauses must be paired with an independent clause. Otherwise, they will be [[What is a “sentence fragment”?| sentence fragments]] (Simmons 2013). 
When attaching subordinate and independent clauses, consider these practices:
<ol>
<li>If the subordinating conjunction appears at the beginning of the sentence, use a comma to separate the clauses.</li>
<li>If the subordinating conjunction appears in the middle of the sentence, do not use a comma to separate the clauses unless the subordinate clause is [[nonessential]].</li>
</ol>

== Usage ==

Subordinating conjunctions can be used to join two related ideas into a single sentence (Simmons 2013). 
'''Example''': 
     "Alex is hungry. He did not have time to eat breakfast." 
     becomes 
     "Alex is hungry ''because'' he did not have time to eat breakfast." 
They can also be used to correct [[What is a “run-on” sentence?|run-on sentences]]. 
'''Example''': 
     "Bonnie finished with school, she went to the park." 
     becomes 
     "''After'' Bonnie finished with school, she went to the park."
