What is a word that joins clauses?

A word that joins clauses is called a conjunction.

There are different types of conjunctions:

* Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, or clauses of equal grammatical rank. Examples include: and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet.

* Subordinating conjunctions connect a dependent clause to an independent clause. Examples include: because, although, since, while, if, unless, when.

Let me know if you'd like examples of how these conjunctions are used!
