Apa perbedaan conjunction dengan connector?

Meski sama-sama kata penghubung, keduanya berbeda pada penggunaannya. Conjuction

digunakan untuk menyambungkan kata, kalimat atau klausa ke dalam satu kalimat Fungsi
utamanya adalah seperti lem yang digunakan untuk menyambungkan dua atau lebih kata,
kalimat, maupun klausa menjadi satu., sedangkan connector digunakan untuk menunjukan
adanya hubungan antara satu kalimat dengan kalimat berikutnya.

Contoh conjunction dalam kalimat:

 I tried to help the bickering neighbor, but my brother said I shouldn’t meddle with
others’ business.

 I was in the kitchen when I heard someone knock the door.

 I don’t think I would be able to finish the cake off because I’m already full.

Contoh penggunaan connector:

 Accurate referencing is essential for academic work, but it isn’t because of its
immediately apparent to higher education. This essay will, therefore, examine why it is
important for academic writing.

 Reading aloud to young children stimulates their interest in books. Similarly, visiting

libraries or book fairs has been shown to increase children’s readiness to engage with
print.

Connector merupakan bagian dari transition words yang menghubungkan satu kalimat dengan
kalimat selanjutnya.

Conjunction words lebih berfungsi sebagai penyambung dua kalimat, sedangkan linking words
lebih berperan sebagai penyambung dua topik. Kalimat-kalimat yang dihubungkan liking words
tetap akan menjadi independen, tidak ada yang menjadi dependen.

Linking words adalah kata-kata yang berfungsi memberikan informasi tambahan, menyatakan
kebalikan, dan mendeskripsikan kejadian lanjutan. Jadi perannya lebih luas dibandingkan dengan
conjunction words.

Example:
 Turn off the TV before you leave the house
 Don’t forget to plug off the TV cable
Dalam conjunction words, tidak masalah mengurangi sebagian dan satu kalimat selama
maksudnya sama. Akan tetapi dalam linking words, tidak ada kalimat yang boleh dikurangi.
Semuanya harus tetap utuh seperti sebelumnya.
 Turn off the TV before you leave the house. Afterward, don’t forget to plug off the TV
cable
What is the difference between a conjunction and a connector?

Even though the conjunctions are both different in their usage. Conjuction is used to connect words,
sentences or clauses into one sentence. Its main function is like glue used to connect two or more
words, sentences, or clauses into one, while connectors are used to indicate the relationship between
one sentence and the next sentence.

Example conjunction in sentence:

• I tried to help the bickering neighbor, but my brother said I shouldn't meddle with others' business.

• I was in the kitchen when I heard someone knock the door.

• I don't think I would be able to finish the cake off because I'm full.

Examples of using connectors:

• Accurate referencing is essential for academic work, but it isn't because of its immediately apparent to
higher education. This essay will, therefore, examine why it is important for academic writing.

• Reading aloud to young children stimulates their interest in books. Similarly, visiting libraries or book
fairs have been shown to increase children's readiness to engage with print.

Connector is part of transition words that connect one sentence to the next sentence.

Conjunction words function more as a connector for two sentences, while linking words act more as a
connector between two topics. Sentences connected by liking words will still be independent, nothing
will be dependent.

Linking words are words that serve to provide additional information, state the opposite, and describe
further events. So the role is wider than conjunction words.

Example:

• Turn off the TV before you leave the house

• Don't forget to plug off the TV cable

In conjunction words, it is not a problem to subtract part and one sentence as long as the meaning is the
same. However, in linking words, no sentence should be reduced. Everything must remain intact as
before.

• Turn off the TV before you leave the house. Afterward, don't forget to plug off the TV cable
