Takeaways

• 😀 Conjunctions in English are linking words used to connect clauses or sentences, such as 'and', 'but', 'or', 'because'.
• 😀 The video introduces two types of conjunctions: Coordinating Conjunctions and Subordinating Conjunctions.
• 😀 Coordinating conjunctions are simpler and include words like 'and', 'but', 'or', and 'so'. These connect ideas of equal importance.
• 😀 Subordinating conjunctions, like 'because', 'after', 'before', 'when', and 'while', are used to connect a dependent clause to an independent clause.
• 😀 A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and needs to be connected to an independent clause.
• 😀 Independent clauses are complete sentences that can stand alone, while dependent clauses need additional information to form a full idea.
• 😀 Examples of dependent clauses include: 'because I lost my train ticket' and 'when the workers arrive'.
• 😀 The order of subordinating conjunctions can be flexible. For example, 'I could not arrive early because I lost my train ticket' can also be written as 'Because I lost my train ticket, I could not arrive early'.
• 😀 Subordinating conjunctions allow for smoother transitions in speech or writing by connecting dependent clauses to independent clauses.
• 😀 The video emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between independent and dependent clauses to construct clearer, more fluid sentences.
• 😀 The lesson also encourages viewers to practice using subordinating conjunctions and share their own examples in the comments section.
