Prepositions

A word used to show the relationship of a noun or a pronoun to some other word in a sentence

NOTE: Many of the words in the blue box can be used as an adverb or as a preposition. To be sure that a word is a preposition, ask whether the word relates a noun or pronoun following it to a word that comes before it.

Conjunctions

Coordinating conjunctions always connect items of the same kind. They may join single words or groups of words.

Examples: and, but, for, nor, or, so, and yet (FANBOYS).

First it rained, but the rain stopped quickly.

Correlative conjunctions also connect items of the same kind. Correlative conjunctions are always used in pairs.

Examples:

both..and, either..or, neither..nor, not only..but also, and whether..or

Both dogs and cats make good pets.

Either borrow a book, or buy a magazine.

Interjections

  • A word used to express emotion.
  • No grammatical relation to the rest of the sentence!
  • Also set off from the rest of the sentence with an exclamation mark or a comma.

No! Our television picture just disappeared.

Oh dear, grammar is so boring.
