Conjunction

Hello nice readers, now I want to post about one of my english lesson in my class and please remind me if there are any mistake from this post. Have a nice read readers ^^

What is Conjunction ?

Conjunction ( Kata Sambung ) adalah kata-kata yang digunakan untuk menghubungkan kata-kata atau kalimat.

•         Tidak seperti preposisi dihubungkan dengan objek
•     Tidak seperti adverb menerangkan kata
•          Hanya menghubungkan kata-kata atau kalimat-kalimat dan sebagainya

Okay now, example ?

Yes, example

If you would like to have your friend bring dictionary and grammar pocket to your school, it’s pretty hard to do it without a conjunction.

You could say, “ Bring dictionary. Bring grammar pocket “

But it’s more efficient to say. “ Bring dictionary and grammar pocket “

And it’s more polite to say , “ Please bring dictionary and grammar pocket “
