Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Conjunctions & Interjections Practice

▼

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and identify:

- Conjunctions (coordinating, correlative, or subordinating) → underline them
- Conjunctive adverbs → also underline them
- Interjections → draw parentheses around them

Remember:
- Coordinating conjunctions: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so (FANBOYS)
- Correlative conjunctions: pairs like either/or, not only/but also, both/and, etc.
- Subordinating conjunctions: after, although, as, because, if, since, so that, until, when, while
- Conjunctive adverbs: also, consequently, however, nevertheless, still, therefore, besides, otherwise
- Interjections: oh, well, ouch, yipes, wow, etc. — usually followed by comma or exclamation
