LECCIÓN N°06 LINKERS CONJUNCTIONS A conjunction is a word that "joins". A conjunction joins two parts of a sentence. Here are some example conjunctions: Coordinating Conjunctions
Subordinating Conjunctions
and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so
although, because, since, unless
We can consider conjunctions from three aspects. FORM Conjunctions have three basic forms:
Single Word for example: and, but, because, although
Compound (often ending with as or that) for example: provided that, as long as, in order that
Correlative (surrounding an adverb or adjective) for example: so...that
FUNCTION Conjunctions have two basic functions or "jobs": DOC. ERIKA GARCÍA ANDIA
33
INSTITUTO DE EDUCACIÓN SUPERIOR PEDAGÓGICO PÚBLICO
“JOSÉ JIMÉNEZ BORJA”
Coordinating conjunctions are used to join two parts of a sentence that are grammatically equal. The two parts may be single words or clauses, for example: - Jack and Jill went up the hill. - The water was warm, but I didn't go swimming.
Subordinating conjunctions are used to join a subordinate dependent clause to a main clause, for example: - I went swimming although it was cold.

BUT

To connect two ideas with the meaning of "with the exception of" (and then the second word takes over as subject): "Everybody but Goldenbreath is trying out for the team."

LECCIÓN N° 08 PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS
We use the Present Perfect Continuous to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now. "For five minutes," "for two weeks," and "since Tuesday" are all durations which can be used with the Present Perfect Continuous.
Examples: They have been talking for the last hour. She has been working at that company for three years. What have you been doing for the last 30 minutes? James has been teaching at the university since June. We have been waiting here for over two hours! Why has Nancy not been taking her medicine for the last three days?
