Today's Topic: Conjunction
A conjunction is a word like and, but, although, because. Conjunctions have an important function because they join other words and phrases together.
1.What do Conjunctions Look Like?
Conjunctions have three basic formats:
a. Single word
for example: and, but, because, although
b.compound (often ending with as or that)
for example: provided that, as long as, in order that
c. correlative (surrounding an adverb or adjective)
for example: so...that
2. Where do Conjunctions Go?
→Coordinating conjunctions always come between the words or clauses that they join.
There are seven coordinating conjunctions, and they are all short words of only two or three letters:
• and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so
Look at these examples - the two elements that the coordinating conjunction joins are shown in square brackets [ ]:
• I like [tea] and [coffee].
• [Ram likes tea], but [Anthony likes coffee].
Coordinating conjunctions always come between the words or clauses that they join.
When a coordinating conjunction joins independent clauses, it is always correct to place a comma before the conjunction:
• I want to work as an interpreter in the future, so I am studying Russian at university.
However, if the independent clauses are short and well-balanced, a comma is not really essential:
• She is kind so she helps people.
When "and" is used with the last word of a list, a comma is optional:
•He drinks beer, whisky, wine, and rum.
→Subordinating conjunctions usually come at the beginning of the subordinate clause.
Here are some common subordinating conjunctions:
• after, although, as, because, before, how, if, once, since, than, that, though, till, until, when, where, whether, while
Example:
1.Ram went swimming although it was raining.
2.Although it was raining, Ram went swimming.

Here’s a topic for everyone,
We all must have heard of a phrase goes by “Sleep on it”, ever wonder what’s the idea behind it. Well it’s definitely related to sleep, but here I am focusing on the context of number of hours a person should sleep over a 24 hr cycle, neuroscientists suggest 7-9 hrs as the ideal number of hours but the generation we are in & all the fancy techs in our hands is sadly shrinking this window to a lot lesser number of hours on an average, what do you guys think of the impacts of pushing your body to stay awake & sleeping for far lesser amount of hours (Under 7hr scale) on both mind & health, & why the night owls shouldn’t feel guilty about it but rather understand the benefits of this state.
So, Sleep, why aren’t we just using the most powerful performance enhancement drug to its full potential?
Do discuss & share your thoughts.

What if there were no wars in the world and no hate among people and countries. All of the countries shared their knowledge, experiences with each other. What do you think would happen?
the Hella lot of money that each country spends on its defense system (weapons, forces and all that) would be used in benign constructive ways rather than destructive.
And imagine the world if this wasn't just a mere thought but The reality .
