A conjunction is a word that joins two Words, Phrases, Clauses or Sentences.

For example:

• Sando and Zinah are twins.
• I went to play, although it was hot outside.
• The weather was sunny and warm.
• The job is highly dangerous but interesting.

Conjunctions are used to form complex, elegant sentences and avoid the choppiness of multiple short sentences.

There are four main types of conjunctions:

• Coordinating Conjunctions
• Subordinating Conjunctions
• Correlative Conjunctions
• Conjunctive Adverbs
