IMPORTANCE OF PARTS OF SPEECH.
CONJUNCTION.
(MAHENDIRAN. V)

Conjunction is a word that connects two different clauses. (Sub-ordinate clause + Main clause ; Main clause + Main clause)

Clause means sentence.

Main clause means that a sentence stands alone and completing a meaning.

Sub-ordinate clause means that a clause is depending a main clause. It can't stand alone.

"As I was busy, I couldn't attened your call."

➡️As - is conjunction here.
➡️As I was busy - is sub-ordinate clause.
➡️I couldn't attend your call - is main clause.

If a conjunction connects a sub-ordinate clause with a Main clause, that is known as a sub-ordinate conjunction.
AS is a sub-ordinate conjunction here since it acts as said above.

The combination of these two  sentences is called COMPLEX SENTENCE.

"It is raining but the match is going on."
But - is conjunction here.
It is raining - is Main clause.
The match is going on - is also a main clause.
Since BUT connects two different main clauses, it is called a Coordinate conjunction.

The combination of these two  sentences is called COMPOUND SENTENCE.
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
➡️Leading Sub-ordinate conjunctions are,
IF, UNLESS, AS, THAT, BECAUSE, NEVERTHELESS, SINCE, TILL, UNTIL, WHEREAS, HOWEVER, THOUGH, ALTHOUGH, EVEN THOUGH etc.,
The relative pronouns/adverbs  - WHO, WHOM, WHOSE, THAT, WHICH/WHEN, WHERE,  are also called sub-ordinate conjunction though these are labelled as relative pronouns/adverbs.

➡️Leading Absolute*  Coordinate conjunctions are,
BUT, YET, STILL etc.,
Non-absolute** Coordinate conjunctions are,
SO, SO THAT, AND, AND SO, HENCE, THEREFORE, THAT IS WHAT, THST IS WHY etc.,

*ABSOLUTE COORDINATE. Even if you interchange the place of the main clauses, meaning won't be damaged.
**NON-ABSOLUTE COORDINATE.
If you interchange the clauses meaning would change.
