Conjunctions: Because, since, if

We use words called conjunctions, like and, or, but, because and although, to join two parts of sentences. Conjunctions can be used to give more information, give alternatives, give reasons, give results or give unexpected information.

We use and, or and but to connect two parts of sentences which are similar in grammatical status. We use and for adding information, or for giving alternatives and but for unexpected or different information. We don’t usually use conjunctions to start sentences when we’re writing, but people do when they’re speaking.There are a lot more conjunctions which we use to connect one clause with another clause. For example: because, for giving reasons, so, for talking about results or purposes, and although, for unexpected or different information.
