LESSON 100.
CLASSES OF CONJUNCTIONS AND OTHER CONNECTIVES.
+Introductory Hints+.--The stars look down upon the roofs of the living
_and_ upon the graves of the dead, _but neither_ the living _nor_ the dead
are conscious of their gaze. Here _and_, _but_, _neither_, and _nor_
connect words, phrases, and clauses of equal rank, or order, and so are
called +Co-ordinate Conjunctions+. Both clauses may be independent, or both
dependent but of equal rank.
At the burning of Moscow, it seemed _as_ [it would seem] _if_ the heavens
were lighted up _that_ the nations might behold the scene. Here _as_, _if_,
and _that_ connect each a lower, or subordinate, clause to a clause of
higher rank, and hence are called +Subordinate Conjunctions+. One clause
may be independent and the other dependent, or both dependent but of
unequal rank.
+DEFINITIONS.+
+A _Conjunction_ is a word used to connect words, phrases, or clauses+.
