Italian conjunctions, prepositions and pronouns, are all connectors, or connettivi in Italian<\/a>. Congiunzioni<\/em>\u00a0connect different elements of a sentence. I already mentioned the role of the simple prepositions, or\u00a0preposizioni semplici<\/a>, and the difference between prepositions and conjunctions. Please have a look if you have doubts.<\/p>\n Italian conjunctions can be of two types, coordinating or subordinating (coordinanti o subordinanti<\/em>), depending on the relation between the words they connect. Today we are going to see coordinating conjunctions. Sounds difficult? Let’s see some examples.<\/p>\n * All the examples will be in Italian. Please make and effort and try to understand the sentences. Add questions or suggestions in the comments if you wish.<\/p>\n If words or clauses linked by a conjunction have the same weight and function, we talk about coordinating conjunctions. For example:<\/p>\n If we simply look at the structure of conjunctions, we can identify 3 types.<\/p>\n Now, we are going to see some examples\u00a0of\u00a0coordinating conjunctions based on their function.<\/p>\n When a conjunction simply puts together “a couple” of words or sentences, we have a congiunzione copulativa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n When a conjunction links two opposite words or situations, we have a congiunzione avversativa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n When the conjunction creates an alternative between opposite words or sentences,\u00a0we have a congiunzione disguintiva.<\/strong><\/p>\n They link a statement and an explanation (or declaration).<\/p>\n They work in couples and build a correlation between two elements.<\/p>\n When a conjunction introduces the conclusion of a sentence , we have a congiunzione conclusiva<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Again, all the congiunzioni<\/em> above connect elements that are independent of each other or sentences which\u00a0can well stand alone. We’ll see pretty soon the congiunzioni subordinanti.<\/p>\n Thanks for reading.
