    CONJUNCTIONS

    Most simply, conjunctions connect things. They allow us to make longer more
    complex sentences.

    There are four types of conjunctions: 1. A coordinating conjunction, which


    connects a word, a phrase or a clause of equal weight. 2. A subordinating
    conjunction, which only connects clauses and in doing so creates a subordinate
    clause. 3. A correlative conjunction, which operates in pairs to connect
    sentence elements. 4. A conjunctive adverb, which creates a relationship
    between ideas in the sentence.
