Conjunctions in complex sentences Exercises in Malay language
Conjunctions play a crucial role in the Malay language, especially when constructing complex sentences. By linking clauses and ideas, conjunctions help convey more nuanced and detailed information.

Complex sentences in Malay often involve coordinating, subordinating, and correlative conjunctions. Each type serves a unique function, allowing speakers to express cause and effect, contrast, condition, and other relationships between ideas.
