I have a silly obsession with conjunctions since last year.
Conjunction junction,
What’s your function?
Hookin’ up words,
and phrases and clauses.
Such a catchy stanza! Hehe.
Anyway, for those who are still confused on what conjunctions are, here is a tip for remembering them, at least the subordinating ones. The ones that joins two phrases together.
“WE WASABI”
???
Don’t be alarmed. It’s a mnemonic – meaning the two words stand for something.
W- While
E – Eventhough
W – When
A – Although
S – So that
A – After
B – Because
I – If
So next time you have wasabi with your sashimi, remember your conjunctions.
Nice one 🙂

MiLady Maurina,
It is so angelic of you to highlight this all-important issue of English English as it should be read, written, spoken and listened to.
I am currently ‘mentoring’ a young man who had flunked his ‘O’ Level English for two consecutive years (June & November). And come this June, he is going to have another crack at this ‘highly-failed’ subject in the Brunei education system.
I would strongly recommend your GVO-linked Blog to my ‘mentee’ as part of intensive preparations for his D-Day in the examination hall! ;p 🙂

Sha: Huahahaha! Nyaman kali ah sushi ani, biar kau craving!!! *evil laugh*
Bard English: You are very kind to tutor that young man! 🙂 I salute his strong will and determination, failing twice is a devastating thing that can crush one’s spirit. His courage is one which should be admired. Tell him the secret is to master his tenses!
Mamalobengs: WOOOOOOOIIIII!!!! *highlight*
