Conjunction adalah sekelompok kata yang berfungsi untuk menghubungkan dua kata, frasa atau kalimat. Beberapa Conjunction yang penting dalam Bahasa Inggris adalah sebagai berikut:

1. Conjunction yang menunjukkan sejajar :

And = dan
As well as = dan/juga
Neither….not…. = baik ……. Maupun …. tidak
Both….and….. = keduanyadari….dan….(baik…maupun…)
Not only…but also… = tidak hanya ……..tetapi juga ……..

Contoh : She can speak English, and so can I
I want Titus as well as Bachrul to be committee

Catatan :
Neither…..not….selalu dhkuti to be atau kata kerja positif. Walaupun demikian pengertian dari pola ini selalu negatif.

2. Conjunction yang menunjukkan hubungan berlawanan

But = tetapi
Though, although, even though = meskipun
Inspite of, despite = meskipun
Regardless = tanpa memperdulikan
Contoh : he is very clever but lazy
Jack went out inspite of the rain

Catatan :
Although dan inspite of mempunyai arti sama tapi enggunaannya berbeda. Althogh diikuti kalimat lengkap sedang inspite of tidak

Contoh : He went out although it was raining
He went out inspite of the rain

3. Conjunction yang menunjukkan hubungan sebab akibat dengan tekanan pada sebab

Because, since, as, for = sebab
Because of = sebab

Contoh : It is hard to speak English because we never practice it.
Because of you, I can speak English.

Catatan :
a. Since selalu terletak diawal kalimat, sedang for ditengah kalimat.
Since it was raining heavily, he just stayed at home.
He just stayed at home for it was raining heavily

b. Because selalu diikuti kalimat lengkap, sedang because of selalu diikuti noun.
Titus can not sleep well because it is very hot

Contoh :
