What is a "conjunction"?

A conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence, creating relationships between different parts of the text. The main types of conjunctions include coordinating conjunctions, which connect elements of equal importance, and subordinating conjunctions, which link a dependent clause to an independent clause. Correlative conjunctions work in pairs to connect related elements. Understanding conjunctions is essential for constructing coherent sentences and clarifying relationships between ideas.
