GRAMMAR--->conjunctions

Definition
Some words are satisfied spending an evening at home, alone, eating ice-cream right out of the box, watching Seinfeld re-runs on TV, or reading a good book. Others aren't happy unless they're out on the town, mixing it up with other words; they're joiners and they just can't help themselves. A conjunction is a joiner, a word that connects (conjoins) parts of a sentence

1.       Coordinate Conjunction
Menghubungkan dua unit yang sama:noun dengan noun, adjective dengan adjective, adverb dengan adverb
Examples:
Susi gets a good score, but maria gets a bad score.
Tono and Tina are happy
You must study hard, or you will fail in the examination
He is slow but sure.
You should go to the doctor, or take a rest
2.       Subordinate Conjunction
Biasanya menghubungkan dua kalimat
Examples:
Because, though/although/eventhough, when/while, before, after
Before I study English, I eat first
I don’t go to work today because I am sick
I go to school eventhough I am sick

3.       Conjunctive Adverb
Mneghubungkan dua kalimat
Examples:
However, then, otherwise, furthermore
First we have dinner; then we go home
 We went to TMII;however, we didn’t visit all pavilions.
Do your homework; otherwise, your teacher will be angry with you

4.       Corrective Conjunction
Kata penghubung yang berpasangan
Examples :
Nina is so kind that she can easily make friend(kind=adjective)
Mr.Anwar sings so beautifully that everybody give a hand(beautifully=adverb)
Mr Andy is such a good student that he can pass the test easily(a good student=noun phrase)

5.       Split Conjunction
