Сполучник ( The conjunction)

Сполучниками називаються службові слова, які вживаються для звязку членів речення і речень в складних реченнях. Вони не виконують самостійної функції і не є членами речення.

За своєю функцією в реченні сполучники поділяються на сурядні і (and, as well as, but, or, not only-but also and etc.) і підрядні (that, if whether, after, as soon as, for, since as, in case, so that, although and etc.) За своєю формою сполучники поділяються на прості і складені. Прості сполучники: and, but, if, that and etc.

Складені сполучники: as well as, so that, in order that and etc.

Деякі складені сполучники є подвійними, так як розпадаються на дві частини: both...and, not...but also, either...or, no sooner...than and etc.
