    Using Conjunctions Correctly

    The word conjunction comes from the Latin word conjunctus – meaning “to join”.
    Conjunctions are words that join words, phrases, or clauses. They should be used with care.

    There are two general classes of conjunction: coordinating and subordinating


    conjunctions.

    Coordinating Conjunctions

    Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses of equal rank; they do not
    join a principal element to a subordinate element.

    The best way to remember the coordinating conjunctions is by using the


    acronym FANBOYS (for and nor but or yet so).

    Subordinating Conjunctions

    Subordinating Conjunctions are used to introduce subordinate clauses. They convey


    the thought relationship between ideas in a sentence.

    Activity 1

    1. It was raining. We went out.

    2. It was a warm day. We took off our coats.

    3. He was an extravagant person. He did not spend all his money.

    4. He was an extravagant person. He spent his money foolishly.

    5. Tell the truth. I will punish you.

    7. We went out. The rain stopped.

    8. She did not know. She lost her watch.

    THREE INDIAN POETS

    A. Bhartrihari (Seventh Century)


    Bhartrihari experienced an inner conflict brought about by love of religion and
    love of the world. It is said that seven times he tried to renounce the world by entering a
    monastery, only to forsake it each time. The legend goes that he kept a horse at hand, so
    that he could easily flee from the monastery the moment he felt the urge to go out into the
    world.

    B. Kalisada
    Kalisada (flourished about 375-415) was an Indian court poet and dramatist. An
    outstanding figure in Oriental literature, his poetry is noted for it's fine descriptions of
    nature and of poignant emotions. His principal works have been translated in many
    languages, including English. So many poems of different types are attributed to Kalisada
    that some critics believe them to be the work of three poets, all named Kalisada.

    C. Rabindranath Tagore
    Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), essayist, poet, musician, and mystic, did a
    great deal to interpret the thought of India to the Western world. His complete mastery of
    English was one of his chief assets in his transmission of ideas. He founded an important
    school of Indian studies called Visva-Bharati. Much of his life was spent in travel. He
    made many friends among the leading intellectuals of the West. He lectured to many
    audiences. Among his works are musical compositions, poems, plays, stories, and essays.
    Early in life, Tagore was taught by his father to love solitude and nature. Thus,
    even as a boy, he preferred contact with nature to the confinement of the classrooms. He
    was a precocious child child who at age of eight began writing poems; at twelve he wrote
    drama; and at thirteen did a translation of Macbeth into Bengali. Tagore's many talents
    included painting and composing music.
    Tagore's book of poems, Gitanjali, won the Nobel Prize. This was the first time it
    was awarded to an Oriental. The poet, in these isolated fragments, expresses his
    reflections on the simple life and on the moral regeneration of man, so that he can attain
    freedom.
    The fable " The Tame Bird and the Free BIrd" reveals a bit of Oriental wisdom.

    An Arabian Folktale

    Far out in the desert of Arabia lived a chief


    called Ali Ben Ahmed and his tribe. Their tents
    were pitched on the trackless sand where the
    blazing sun beat down all day. Month after month,
    they saw no strand, for the paths of travelers lay
    far to the south.
