Today, we set sail on the high seas of conjunctions, where words come together like crewmates on a ship. Conjunctions are the connectors that join phrases, clauses, and even entire sentences, creating harmony in our linguistic adventures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Consider these examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">She wanted to go to the beach, <strong>but<\/strong> it started raining.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">He likes both chocolate <strong>and<\/strong> vanilla ice cream.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">In these sentences, &#8220;but&#8221; and &#8220;and&#8221; are conjunctions, linking ideas and adding depth to our communication. Conjunctions are like the magic wands of grammar, waving between words and weaving them into cohesive narratives. So, next time you&#8217;re navigating the waters of language, don&#8217;t forget to chart a course with conjunctions by your side!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[21],"class_list":["post-12672","fl_news","type-fl_news","status-publish","hentry","category-21"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fl_news\/12672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fl_news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fl_news"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
