The Conjunction

It is a functional word indicating the connection between two notional words, phrases, clauses, or sentences.

Morphological composition.

According to their morphological structure conjunctions fall into the following types:

-simple conjunctions (and, or, but, till, after, that, so, where, when);

-derived conjunctions (until, unless, seeing, supposing, provided);

-compound conjunctions (whereas, wherever);

-composite conjunctions (as well as, in case, for fear, on condition that, on the ground that);

Several conjunctions form correlative pairs, though strictly speaking the first element is not a conjunction (both…and, either…or, neither…nor, not only…but also).

The Particle

It is a part of speech, the meaning of which is difficult to define. It either emphasizes or limits the meaning of another word, phrase and clause. Particles are invariable and have no syntactical function in the sentence. Particles may combine with any part of speech (E.g. Don’t worry-there is just Aunt Fanny. I should justthink so). Particles generally stand before the word they refer to, but they may also follow it (E.g. This book is for advanced students only.). According to their meaning particles fall into six groups:

-intensifying particles: just, even, yet, still, all, simply (E.g. They even offered him to take it);

-limiting particles: only, merely, solely, but, alone (E.g. I only wanted to ask you the time);

-specifying particles: right, exactly, precisely, just (E.g. What exactly do you mean?);

-the additive particle else,it combines only with indefinite, interrogative and negative pronouns and adverbs (E.g. something else? Nobody else?)

-negative particle not (E.g. Not a word was said about it)

-connecting particles alsoand too(E.g. Were you at the film? I was also there).
