1. Conjunctive Adverbs: These are words like "however," "therefore," "nevertheless," "moreover," "furthermore," "besides," etc. They connect two independent clauses and show a relationship between them (contrast, consequence, addition, etc.). They are often used with a semicolon before them.
* Example: "The weather was terrible; however, the game went on."
2. Subordinating Conjunctions: These words like "although," "because," "since," "while," "if," "unless," "until," etc. connect a dependent clause to an independent clause, creating a complex sentence.
* Example: "Although the weather was terrible, the game went on."
3. Coordinating Conjunctions: These are words like "and," "but," "or," "nor," "for," "so," "yet." They connect two words, phrases, or clauses of equal grammatical rank.
* Example: "The weather was terrible, but the game went on."
"Corrective" in the sense of making a correction is more likely to be achieved through:
* Phrases like "on the other hand" or "rather".
* Words like "actually" or "instead".
* Using a more accurate term or phrase to replace an incorrect one.
Let me know if you can give me more context about what you were thinking of when you used the term "corrective conjunctions." I'd be happy to clarify further!
