Connectors // Bahasa Inggris Bisnis 2

Problem 

The problem is we do not know the difference from the Coordinating Connectors, Sub Ordinating Connectors, and Correlative Connectors. Here I will explain the difference of Coordinating Connectors, Sub Ordinating Connectors, and Correlative Connectors.

Example 

• Coordinating Connectors : The bowl of squid eyeball stew is hot and delicious.
• Subordinating Connectors : Before she went to Jakarta, she got her flowers watered.
• Correlative Connectors : There are no differencebeetwen you and him.

Solution 

Conecctors are connecting words or conjunctions having 3 types: Coordinating Connectors, Subordinating Connectors (cause connector, eg: because, because of) and Correlative Connectors (Not only ... but also, either or ... neither nor, both ... and).

First solution for coordinating connectors. And, but, for, nor, or, so, and yet—these are the seven coordinating conjunctions. If the coordinate connectors are used to connect two independent clauses within a compound sentence, then the comma is placed just before the hyphen. Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses. Look at the examples that follow:

1. The bowl of squid eyeball stew is hot and delicious.
2. The squid eyeball stew is so thick that you can eat it with a fork or spoon.
3. Rocky, my orange tomcat, loves having his head scratched but hates getting his claws trimmed

Use a coordinating conjunction when you want to give equal emphasis to two main clauses. The pattern for coordination looks like this:

Main Clause + , + Coordinating Conjunction + Main Clause

Second solution for Subordinating Connectors.  Subordinating connectors are hyphens that initiate a subordinate clause (an adverbial clause) that serves to build an idea relationship between the subordinate clause with the main clause. The combination of dependent and main clause produces complex sentence.

Subordinate connectors are used on the subordinate clause, which is a less important part of the idea than the main clause. These Connectors have, among other things, a relationship of time, place, contrast, cause-effect, condition, purpose, and manner. Look at the examples that follow:

1. You can come to my house whenever you want.
2. While I was studying in my room, I didn’t let someone else to disturb.
3. Even if Bima is not qualified enough to enter the top university, he’ll try again next year.

The pattern for coordination looks like this: 

Subordinate Clause + , + Main Clause or Main Clause + Ø + Subordinate Clause.

And the last solution for correlative connectors. Correlative Connectors are words used in pairs to show the relationship between two words, phrase (phrase), or clause (clause). The connected sentence elements are usually parallel (to the holder parallel) in a grammatical structure. This word is also called paired connectors. Look at the examples that follow:

1. There are no differencebeetwen you and him.
2. The man is neither handsome nor faithful.
3. If you help him now, then he’ll repay oneday
