2. Whats the difference between asyndetic, syndetic and polisyndetic coordination? Provide examples. Asyndetic coordination is marked by a comma or a semicolon.

She finished studying, and then went to bed. Syndetic coordination. Pure coordinators AND we use this coordinator to express: -addition: Thomas wore a leather pair of boots, and a red jacket. - condition: Help me with my homework, and Ill take you to the park. - contrast: The house was beautiful, and the yard was a mess. - comment: Janet hates Jonah, and that is not something new. - similar: The car has no problem, and the bicycle has already been fixed. -consequence: The player score a goal, and the crowd cheered outloud. - sequence: I ate dinner, and had a bath. - reason: He failed his exam, and redid the course. OR we use this coordinator to express: -alternative: You can have soup, or salad with your meat. -condition (It may imply a negative condition) and it can be inclusive or exclusive Give me your wallet, or she dies. Shut up, or Ill punch you. BUT we use this coordinator only for contrast He lost everything, but wasnt sad. Conjoins YET. SO. They can be preceded by and and can be coordinators or subordinators.
