COMPOUND CONJUNCTION

Compound conjunction adalah kata sambung yang menghubungkan struktur yang setara. 

  • Coordinative Conjunction

Kata sambung yang digunakan untuk menghubungkan sesuatu yang setara secara gramatikal, diantaranya yaitu "For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So" biasa disingkat FAN BOYS.
e.g.:
  • She remained silent, for her heart was heavy and her spirit was low.
  • He plays squash and rugby.
  • She nor he likes you.
  • We enjoyed our vacation a lot, but it was expensive.
  • You should eat more, or you will make yourself ill.

  • Correlative Conjuction

Kata sambung yang terdiri dari kata-kata yang berkorelasi/berpasangan, diantarnya yaitu:

--Both.... And.... = Keduanya... dan... / baik... maupun... (untuk 2 hal yang tercapai).
e.g.: Both Mike and Jim have red hair.

--Not only... but also... = Tidak hanya... tetapi juga... (untuk 2 hal yang tercapai).
e.g.: Not only Mike but also Jim has red hair.

--Neither... nor... = Baik... maupun... tidak... (untuk 2 hal yang tidak tercapai).
e.g.: Neither Mike nor Jim is reading a novel.

--Either... or... = Jika bukan... berarti... / ... atau... (untuk 1 hal tercapai).
e.g.: Either I or they are eating rice.

Untuk persesuaian (agreement) antara 'subject' dan 'verb' pada correlative conjunction di atas adalah sebagai berikut:
  • Both... (Subject 1)... and... (Subject 2) + (Plural Verb).
  • Not only... (Subject 1)... but also... (Subject 2) + (Verb [tergantung subject 2]).
  • Neither... (Subject 1)... nor... (Subject 2) + (Verb [tergantung subject 2]).
  • Either... (Subject 1)... or... (Subject 2) + (Verb [tergantung Subject 2]).
*Note: Ketika conjunction di atas digunakan untuk menyambungkan antar subject, kata kerja yang digunakan untuk 'both... and...' adalah plural verb (kata kerja untuk subject yang jamak); sementara untuk conjunction yang lainnya, verb yang digunakan sesuai dengan subject kedua/terakhir.
