Conjunctions क्या होते हैं? (बिल्कुल शुरू से)

Conjunction का मतलब है “जोड़ने वाला शब्द”। Conjunctions दो शब्दों, दो phrases, या दो sentences को जोड़ते हैं।

Examples (उदाहरण):
✅ Ram and Shyam are friends. (दो नाम जोड़े)
✅ He is poor but honest. (दो विशेषताएं जोड़ीं)
✅ I wanted to go, but I was tired. (दो sentences जोड़े)
✅ He failed because he didn’t study. (कारण बताया)
📌 हिंदी में समझें: Conjunctions वे शब्द हैं जो वाक्य में “और”, “लेकिन”, “इसलिए”, “क्योंकि” जैसा काम करते हैं। ये दो चीजों को जोड़ते हैं।

🎯 Conjunction पहचानने की ट्रिक

ट्रिक: वाक्य में देखो — क्या कोई शब्द दो parts को जोड़ रहा है? जैसे “and”, “but”, “or”, “so”, “because”?

Example: “मैं बाजार गया और सामान खरीदा” — यहाँ “और” conjunction है।

3 Types of Conjunctions — आसान भाषा में

Conjunctions के मुख्य 3 types होते हैं। IBPS Clerk के लिए तीनों समझना जरूरी है:

1. Coordinating Conjunctions (FANBOYS)

क्या है: Equal importance वाले words, phrases, या clauses को जोड़ते हैं।

याद रखने का आसान तरीका: FANBOYS

Conjunction मतलब Example
F = For क्योंकि He is happy, for he has won the prize.
A = And और Ram and Shyam are brothers.
N = Nor और न ही He does not drink nor does he smoke.
B = But लेकिन He is poor but honest.
O = Or या You can take tea or coffee.
Y = Yet फिर भी He worked hard, yet he failed.
S = So इसलिए He was tired, so he slept early.

🎯 FANBOYS याद रखने की ट्रिक

FANBOYS = For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So

इन 7 conjunctions को याद रखना बहुत आसान है — बस FANBOYS याद करो!

2. Subordinating Conjunctions

क्या है: मुख्य clause को dependent clause से जोड़ते हैं। ये कारण, समय, शर्त, या विरोध दिखाते हैं।

Conjunction मतलब Example
Because क्योंकि He passed because he studied hard.
Although/Though हालाँकि Although he is rich, he is not happy.
If अगर If you work hard, you will succeed.
Unless अगर नहीं You will fail unless you study.
Until जब तक Wait here until I return.
While/When जब I was sleeping when the phone rang.

3. Correlative Conjunctions

क्या है: ये conjunctions pairs (जोड़ी) में use होते हैं।

Pair मतलब Example
Either…or या तो…या Either you leave or I will call the police.
Neither…nor न तो…न ही Neither Ram nor Shyam came.
Both…and दोनों…और Both tea and coffee are available.
Not only…but also न केवल…बल्कि She is not only beautiful but also intelligent.
