From the previous blog, you have learnt about conjunctions, logical and sequence connectors. However, it only shows the categories and also the function of each category.
In this blog, I will show you one example of the usage of each category.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Conjunctions
1. To show things of similar functional value - I love dancing and singing.
2. To show contrast - Adam is clever but he is lazy.
3. To show concession - Although he is lazy, he is clever.
(Note: unlike Chinese and Malay language, never use "but" after using "although", "though", etc.)
4. To indicate alternatives - What do you want? Coffee or tea?
5. To show reason - Alice was absent yesterday because she was sick.
6. To indicate purpose - School bullying has been a hot issue lately. Measures must be taken in order to solve this problem.

9. To indicate place - My dog follows me wherever I go.
10. To indicate result - You did the mistake so you must be responsible for that.
