A conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence.
The most common are the coordinating conjunctions, remembered by the acronym FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. These connect equal elements: "I wanted coffee, but the café was closed."
Subordinating conjunctions (although, because, if, when, while) introduce dependent clauses. Correlative conjunctions work in pairs (either/or, neither/nor, both/and). Conjunctions are essential for creating complex, flowing sentences rather than choppy simple ones.
