• As conjunções na língua inglesa podem receber vários nomes:

• words of transition
• words of connection
• logical connectors
• transition devices
• cohesive devices
• linking words
• discourse markers

• São usadas sempre com o mesmo propósito – fazer uma conexão lógica entre as
frases e os elementos de ideia.
• São conjunções que unem dois termos iguais e completos em ideia como palavras com
palavras, frases com frases e orações com orações.

• FOR, AND, NOR, BUT, OR, YET, SO

• I went to the market to buy cookies and milk.

(Fui ao mercado comprar biscoitos e leite.)

• He has go to Sandra’s house or Tina’s work.

(Ele tem que ir para a casa de Sandra ou para o trabalho de Tina.)

• Denis was hungry, so he ate the whole pie.

(Denis estava com fome, então ele comeu a torta inteira.)

• Diferentemente das conjunções subordinadas, as coordenadas devem vir entre os itens

que estão sendo conectados.

• He dances ballet, but he doesn’t dance jazz.

(Ele dança balé, mas ele não dança jazz.)
• Essas conjunções são usadas para unir duas ideias paralelas.

• EITHER...OR; NEITHER...NOR; BOTH...AND; NOT ONLY...BUT ALSO

• Artists want not only money but also fame.

(Os artistas querem não apenas dinheiro, mas também fama.)

• Both Tony and Denis are going to help you today.

(Tanto Tony quanto Denis vão te ajudar hoje.)
• Essas conjunções unem orações independentes na ideia. Os advérbios abaixo são usados frequentemente como conjunções:

AFTER ALL ON THE CONTRARY NEXT THUS

(afinal) (muito pelo contrário) (depois) (portanto)
FURTHERMORE AS A RESULT BESIDES FINALLY
(além disso) (como resultado) (além de) (por fim/finalmente)
IN OTHER WORDS HOWEVER IN ADDITION INDEED
(em outras palavras) (entretanto) (além disso) (de fato)
NONETHELESS LIKEWISE MEANWHILE NEVERTHELESS
(no entanto) (igualmente) (enquanto isso) (todavia)
ALSO ON THE OTHER HAND OTHERWISE THEREFORE
(também) (por outro lado) (caso contrário) (portanto)
HENCE INCIDENTALLY CONSEQUENTLY FOR EXAMPLE
(portanto) (por acaso) (consequentemente) (por exemplo)

(Não tínhamos comida em casa. Portanto, chamamos a pizzaria.)

• It was a very hot day. Nevertheless, the construction workers continued doing their job.
(Foi um dia muito quente. Mesmo assim, os operários da construção continuaram fazendo seu trabalho.)
• As conjunções subordinadas unem duas orações, porém, ao se fazer isso, elas tornam uma oração
dependente, ou seja, subordinada da outra. As conjunções subordinadas mais comuns são:

AFTER WHENEVER SUPPOSING (THAT) WHILE

(após) (quando quer que) (supondo que) (enquanto)
EVEN IF AS IF AS SOON AS AS THOUGH
(ainda que) (como se) (assim que) (como se)
SINCE SO THAT IN ORDER (THAT) NOW THAT
(já que) (para que) (para que) (agora que)
WHEN UNLESS PROVIDED (THAT) UNTIL / TILL
(quando) (a menos que) (contanto que) (até)
ALTHOUGH AS FAR AS WHETHER WHY
(embora) (até onde) (se) (por que)
EVEN THOUGH IN CASE (THAT) AS IF BECAUSE (OF)
(embora) (em caso de) (como se) (por causa de)
SO AS TO WHEREVER NO MATTER HOW ONCE
(para) (onde quer que) (não importa como) (uma vez que)

• I am on a diet. (Eu estou de dieta) (oração independente)

• I didn’t eat ice cream. (Eu não tomei sorvete) (oração independente)
• I didn’t eat ice cream because I am on a diet. (Não tomei sorvete porque estou de dieta.) (oração dependente)
• Podemos também estudar as conjunções por meio das ideias que elas
transmitem. As categorias mais cobradas em provas são:

• Addition
• Condition
• Contrast
• Emphasis
• Example
• Generalizing
• Ordering
• Purpose
• Result / Consequence
 ALSO FURTHER SIMILARLY
(também) (mais) (do mesmo modo)
EITHER...OR... AS WELL AS BESIDES
(ou…ou…) (assim como) (além de)
LIKEWISE NEITHER...NOR... IN ADDITION (TO)

EQUALLY IMPORTANT FURTHERMORE BOTH...AND...

MOREOVER BY THE SAME TOKEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST
(além de) (da mesma forma/ pela mesma razão) (por último mas não menos importante)
