Different Types of Text

There are four main types of writing - instructive, persuasive, informative, and 
descriptive - and each one has a specific style.

The following examples should help you identify the four main types of writing.

Conjunctions like AND, OR, BUT, BECAUSE and ALTHOUGH

We use words called conjunctions, like and, or, but, because and although, to join two parts of sentences. 

Conjunctions can be used to give more information, give alternatives, give reasons, give results or give unexpected information.

We use and, or and but to connect two parts of sentences which are similar in grammatical status.
