Conjuction S

There are three main types of conjunctions: coordinating, subordinating, and correlative. Coordinating conjunctions connect independent clauses using FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). Subordinating conjunctions introduce dependent clauses and establish relationships between clauses. Correlative conjunctions always come in pairs and join grammatically equal parts of sentences. Conjunctive adverbs are similar to conjunctions but connect independent clauses and express time, addition, comparison, cause/effect, or emphasis.
