§Grammar and usage
Coordinating conjunctions join equal parts (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so, remembered as FANBOYS); subordinating conjunctions join a dependent clause (because, although, if, when, unless); correlative conjunctions come in pairs (either…or, neither…nor, not only…but also, both…and).
यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: coordinating conjunctions बराबर भागों को जोड़ते हैं (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so, FANBOYS के रूप में याद); subordinating conjunctions आश्रित clause जोड़ते हैं (because, although, if, when, unless); correlative conjunctions जोड़ियों में आते हैं (either…or, neither…nor, not only…but also, both…and)।
