Conjunctions are used to link words and/or sentences inwardly.

There are two types of conjunctions and the position what is inside a
sentence depends on the type.

TYPES OF CONJUNCTIONS

COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS: This type of conjunction is used when we

want to link two sentences that have the same value.

 And(y)
 But(pero)
 However(sin embargo)
 Or(o)
 So(así que)
 Then (entonces)…

Position: They always go between phrases or words.

Examples:
 She likes to sing and dance. (Le gusta cantar y bailar.)

 I want to move to London so I am studying English. (Quiero

mudarme a Londres, por lo tanto estoy estudiando inglés.)

 They are moving to Barcelona, however they really like Madrid. (Se
mudan a Barcelona sin embargo les gusta mucho Madrid.)
SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS: This type of conjunction is used when one
of the sentences depends on the other (subordinate phrase). The
subordinate phrase does not make sense without the other. Most
conjunctions are subordinate.

 although (aunque)
 as (como)
 after (después)
 before (antes)
 if (si)
 Because(porque)

Position: In general they go before the subordinate phrase.

Examples:

 I have been working at the bank since 2005. (Llevo trabajando

en el banco desde 2005.)
 She is studying English so that she can move to London.(Está
estudiando inglés para que pueda mudarse a Londres.)
 They went to the beach although it was raining.(Fueron a la
playa aunque estaba lloviendo.)
CONJUNCTIONS (and, or, so, because, but)

1) We use and to connect two words or parts of a sentence.

Examples:
 I am teacher and I live in Spain (Soy professor y vivo en españa)
 You need to do more exercise and eat healthy food.
2) We use but to introduce an idea that is different.
Example:
 I am sick but I must work (estoy enfermo pero tengo que
trabajar)
3) We use so to say ‘with the result that’.
Examples:
 it is too hard for me, so I need your help(esto es muy duro para
mí, así que necesito tu ayuda)
 Fruit and vegetables are full of vitamins, so they are good for
you.
4) We use because to explain the reason.
Examples:
 I do not work, because I am a student(no trabajo porque soy
estudiante)
 Fruit and vegetables are good for you because they are full of
vitamins.
5) We use or to connect an alternative word or idea.
Examples:
 Do you have enough work or do you want more? (¿tienes
suficiente trabajo o quieres más?)
 You could try cycling or go walking if you don’t have a bicycle.
