CONJUNCTIONS - USAGE
It is always practice that makes man perfect. Conjunctions are used to join two clauses meaningfully.
So
It was raining.
They did not go out.
It was raining so they did not go out.
Because
It was raining.
They did not go out.
They did not go out because it was raining.
Because it was raining, they did not go out.
Explanation (In Telugu):
(Because= ఎందుకంటే. ఇంగ్లీష్ లో ఒక పని జరగటానికి ఏ పని అయితే కారణమవుతుందో దాని ముందు because వాడాలి. పైన ఇచ్చిన రెండు sentences లో " It was raining."
ఒకటి; " They did not go out." మరొకటి. "They did not go out." అనేది జరగడానికి "It was raining." అనేది కారణం కాబట్టి "It was raining." కంటే ముందు because ఉండాలి.)
But
They want success.
They don't work hard.
They want success but they don't work hard.
Explanation:
“But” joins two sentences. First action comes first and then comes but later comes the second action.
Look at two actions: 1.They attended the function. 2. They were not invited. In the two actions, sentence 2 must come first and sentence must come later.
("but" రెండు వాక్యాలను కలుపుతుంది. మొదటి చర్య మొదట వస్తుంది మరియు తరువాత వస్తుంది కానీ తరువాత రెండవ చర్య వస్తుంది.
రెండు చర్యలను చూడండి: 1.వారు ఫంక్షన్‌కు హాజరయ్యారు. 2. వారు ఆహ్వానించబడలేదు. రెండు చర్యలలో, వాక్యం 2 తప్పనిసరిగా ముందుగా రావాలి మరియు వాక్యం తరువాత రావాలి.) This translation is not accurate but given for a general understanding.
