 Conjunctions                                                Lidhezat

A conjunction is a word used to connect words, phrases, or clauses or to coordinate words in the same clause, such as: and, but, for, or, nor, yot, so, etc. It links the words or groups of words together, in such a way that certain relationships amount  these different parts of the sentence will be established, and the thoughts that all parts in these convey will be connected. 

Nje lidhez eshte nje fjale e perdorur per te lidhur fjale, shprehje, ose klauzola ose te barazoj fjalet ne te njejten klauzole, si p.sh: dhe, por, per, ose, as, akoma, atehere, etj. Ajo lidh fjale ose grupe fjalesh bashke, ne menyre te tille qe marredhenie  te caktuara fjalesh te saktesohen, te shtohen ne pjese te ndryshme te fjalise, dhe mendimet qe te gjtha keto percjellin,  do te lidhen me se miri.

In English, conjunctions come in three basic types: Coordinating, Subordinating, and Correlative. Coordinating Conjunctions and Correlative Conjunctions connect two grammatically equal elements (words, phrases, or clauses), whereas Subordinating Conjunctions connect two unequal elements

Ne Anglisht lidhezat vijne ne tre forma: koordinuese, nenrenditese dhe korrelative. Koordinuese dhe korrelative sherbejne per te lidhur dy elemente te njejta gramatikore (fjale, shprehje, ose Djali te varura), ndersa lidhezat nenrenditese lidhin dy elemente te pabarabarte.
