Here's a breakdown:
* Coordinating Conjunctions: These connect words, phrases, or clauses of equal grammatical rank. They include for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so (FANBOYS).
* Example: "I went to the store, and I bought some milk."
* Subordinating Conjunctions: These introduce dependent clauses and connect them to independent clauses. Some examples include because, although, since, while, if, unless, after, before, when, where, as, as if, as though.
* Example: "Because I was tired, I went to bed early."
* Correlative Conjunctions: These come in pairs and connect words, phrases, or clauses that are grammatically similar. Some examples include both...and, either...or, neither...nor, not only...but also, whether...or.
* Example: "Not only was the food delicious, but also the service was excellent."
Conjunctions are essential for creating complex sentences and expressing relationships between different parts of a sentence.
