Relationship of propositions

Propositions (clauses, sentences, paragraphs) can be related in a variety of ways.  The conjunctions describe that relationship.  Below are just a few examples of the way propositions can be related.

Relationship of Propositions:
The way that ideas are related, determined by the conjunctions.

  Time relationship
  When she heard the glass break, Mrs. Smith came quickly to the window.

  Cause/Effect relationship
  She was so mad that she began to yell at the kids

  Contrast relationship
  He ran, but he could not get away.

Relating Propositions will be explored in more detail in future sections, but for now, notice that the key to relating propositions is usually the conjunctions.
