Welcome to this tutorial.

00:02.340 --> 00:06.510
Today we're going to talk about pseudo conjunctions.

00:06.510 --> 00:07.640
Let's get started.

00:09.370 --> 00:18.070
Remember that conjunctions are words that link other words phrases clauses or sentences together as

00:18.080 --> 00:19.390
in the example.

00:19.390 --> 00:30.900
Over here Susan is an amazing wife and a wonderful mom now pseudo conjunctions are other parts of speech

00:31.140 --> 00:33.450
that act like conjunctions.

00:33.450 --> 00:41.630
Let's have a look at those pseudo conjunctions a adverbial conjunctions which are also called conjunction

00:41.630 --> 00:49.500
of adverbs are used to indicate a relationship between sentences and independent clauses by comparing

00:49.860 --> 00:54.530
or contrasting ideas for example.

00:54.700 --> 01:06.070
Consequently finally however otherwise then etc. Remember that we usually use columns to separate an

01:06.220 --> 01:10.490
adverbial conjunction from the rest of the sentence.

01:10.510 --> 01:17.140
Have a look at the example over here John's mom wanted him to go to college.

01:17.340 --> 01:22.350
Instead he took a gap year and traveled around the world.

01:22.380 --> 01:28.770
Now the adverbial conjunction instead in the sentence is used to indicate the relationship between the

01:28.770 --> 01:37.870
first sentence and the second contrasting with John's mom wanted him to do and what John actually did.

01:40.470 --> 01:46.540
B nominal conjunctions introduce or conclude ideas.

01:46.980 --> 01:57.800
For example the moment the instant etc. Now nominal conjunctions function as a noun in a sentence.

01:57.800 --> 02:01.190
Have a look at the example over here.

02:01.400 --> 02:09.880
I was petrified the moment I heard the news the nominal conjunction the moment in the sentence is used

02:09.880 --> 02:11.470
to introduce the idea.

02:11.650 --> 02:12.700
I heard the news

02:17.560 --> 02:27.720
see verbal conjunctions I used to introduce additional information in a sentence examples of verbal

02:27.720 --> 02:39.460
conjunctions are assuming that given that etc. Note the verbal conjunctions are derived from verbs.

02:39.520 --> 02:42.730
Have a look at the example over here.

02:42.850 --> 02:50.650
Shall we go out tonight assuming that you are free not the verbal conjunction in this sentence.

02:50.650 --> 02:56.380
Assuming that is used to introduce additional information you are free.
