Conjunctions and clauses
Conjunctions are the key to clause structure: to be able to clearly identify the clause structure you must be familiar with your conjunctions.
Please revise the Section on Conjunctions and memorise the coordinating conjunctions and some typical subordinating conjunctions (Chapter 1). Remember: coordinating conjunctions join two independent or main clauses. If the clause has a subordinating conjunctions, it is a dependent clause. It cannot stand alone. (Chapter 2)
