    The document discusses the differences between conjunctions and connectors. Conjunctions join two clauses of equal grammatical rank and do not require a following comma, while connectors join two independent statements and require a following comma. Some common conjunctions are and, but, or, so, whereas connectors include as, because, since, so that. Correlative conjunctions link two or more linguistic constituents in pairs like both...and, not only...but also.

    CONNECTORS
    VS
    CONJUNCTIONS
    PROF.KAMAL BHATTACHARYYA
    Connectors and

    conjunctions
    The main characteristic of both is
    that they join or link.
    INTRODUCTION

    Conjunction and connectors


    express similar meaning but
    follow different rules of
    grammar and punctuation.
    DIFFERENCES
    CONJUNCTIONS VS
    CONNECTORS
     A conjunction does not usually have a
    following comma but a connector does
      A conjunction always comes before the
    subject of its verb, but a connector may
    come later
     Most conjunctions may go either before or
    between the two verbs that they join,
    but connectors must go between them
    COORDINATING CONNECTORS

    or two statements of equal
    rank.
