Let’s go through each sentence one by one and find the conjunction.
A
conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses. Common ones are: *and, but, or, so, because, if, yet, as, unless*.
---
1. “I tried to help him
because I liked him.”
→ The word connecting the two ideas is
because.
2. “
As he was late, we went without him.”
→
As here means “since” — it’s connecting the reason with the action. So,
as is the conjunction.
3. “
If you give respect, you get respect.”
→
If starts the condition — it’s a conjunction.
4. “She was rich,
yet she was unhappy.”
→
Yet shows contrast — like “but”. It’s a conjunction.
5. “You can have tea
or coffee.”
→
Or gives a choice — classic conjunction.
6. “She worked hard
so she passed the test.”
→
So shows result — it’s a conjunction (meaning “therefore”).
7. “
Unless he apologizes, he will be sacked.”
→
Unless means “if not” — it’s a conjunction introducing a condition.
8. “Raju
and Radha are great friends.”
→
And joins two names — simple conjunction.
9. “She is very polite
but her sister is quite rude.”
→
But shows contrast — conjunction.
10. “The rope was thin,
yet it was strong.”
→ Again,
yet = but — conjunction.
11. “Oil will float
if you pour it on water.”
→
If introduces a condition — conjunction.
12. “I went home
because I had finished my work.”
→
Because explains why — conjunction.
