Here's a breakdown:
* Conjunctions are words that join words, phrases, or clauses. They act like bridges, creating a smooth flow between different elements in a sentence.
There are three main types of conjunctions:
* Coordinating Conjunctions: These connect words or phrases of equal grammatical rank. Examples include: and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet.
* Subordinating Conjunctions: These connect a dependent clause to an independent clause. Examples include: because, although, since, while, if, unless, when.
* Correlative Conjunctions: These come in pairs and connect words, phrases, or clauses that have similar grammatical functions. Examples include: both...and, either...or, neither...nor, not only...but also.
