Instructions
Choose the option that best answers or completes the question or sentence.KINDS OF CONNECTORS
There are two kinds of connectors: conjunctions and free connectors
CONJUNCTIONS are part of the subordinated clause. They take two simple sentences and make one complex sentence:
She fell down after you turned off the light
I like it although it's very expensive
He was reading while she was watching TV
FREE CONNECTORS also connect two different sentences but they are not part of any of them. They connect two simple sentences but don't join them. Grammatically speaking, both sentences stay simple, but the relationship between them is the same as in a compound sentence. Free connectors are separated from both sentences by commas or a stop and a comma
I turned off the light. Afterwards, she fell down
I like it. Nevertheless, it's very expensive
He was reading. Meanwhile, she was watching TV
Some prepositons can express the same idea as a connector, but prepositions work inside just one simple sentence (only one verb):
I'm late because there was a lot of traffic (connector, two sentences)
I'm late because of the traffic (preposition, one sentence)
