CONNECTOR
Clause connector is word that is used to join or to connect clauses in order to form sentences that are both grammatical and logical. There are three groups of clause connectors which are going to be discussed in the present meeting such as subordinator, coordinating conjunction, sentence connector. The first two group are used to join independent clauses to form compounds sentence. The last group is used to introduce dependent clauses, which are joine with independent clause to form complex sentence.
A. Subordinator
Subordinator is used to introduce dependent clauses, which are joined with independent clause to form complex sentence. In other words, a subordinator is the first word in a dependent clause.
1. To tell time : after, as, as soon as, before, since, until, when, whenever and while.
2. To give a reason : because, since, as
3. To tell where : where, wherever
4. To make a contrast : although, event hough, though, while, whereas
B. Coordinating Conjuntion
Coorinating conjuntion is usually used to join two or more independent clauses in compound sentence. There are seven coordinating conjuntion : and, but, yet, or, nor, for and so. Puntuate the sentence by putting a comma (,) before the coordinating conjuntion.\
1. And shows augmentation/addition or connects equal similiar ideas
2. But connects equal different ideas
3. Yet connects equal contrasting ideas
4. For connects a reason to result
5. So connects a result to reason
6. Or connects two equal choices
7. Nor connects two negative ideas
NOTE : when coordinationg conjuntion joins two clauses, the conjuntion is normally preceded by comma.
Independent Clause, + Coordinating Conjuntion + Independent Clause
C. Sentence Connector
The independent clauses of compound sentence can also be joined by a sentence connector such as furthermore, in addition, beside, moreover, however, nevertheless, otherwise, consequently, therefore, thus and hence. Sentence connectors are used frequently in formal writing to connect long clauses. Punctuate the sentence by placing a semicolon (;) after the first clause and a comma (,) after the sentence connector.
1. Futhermore, besides, in addition and moreover - to add similar idea
2. However, nevertheless and on the other hand - to add an opposite idea
3. Therefore, thus, as a result and consequently show result.
NOTE : Independent clause; + sentence connector, + independent clause
A. Subordinator
Subordinator is used to introduce dependent clauses, which are joined with independent clause to form complex sentence. In other words, a subordinator is the first word in a dependent clause.
