A conjunction is a fundamental part of speech that serves to connect words, phrases, clauses, or
sentences. It plays a crucial role in enhancing the structure and coherence of language by
establishing relationships between different elements within a sentence. Conjunctions facilitate the
flow of ideas, indicating how various parts of a sentence relate to one another.
There are three primary types of conjunctions:
- Coordinating Conjunctions:
- - These connect words, expressions, or clauses that are of equal
significance. Common coordinating convergences include" and,"" but,"" or,"" nor,"" for,""
yet," and" so." For illustration," I like tea, but she prefers coffee."
-
These connect words, expressions, or clauses of equal significance.
- Here are some examples of Coordinating Conjunctions:
- And: She likes tea and coffee.
- But: The weather is hot, but we still went for a
walk.
- Or: Do you want tea or coffee?
- Nor: He neither likes tea nor coffee.
- For: She is busy, for she has exams next week.
- Yrt: It's late, yet he hasn't arrived.

- Althorugh: I'll come, althorugh I might be late.
- While: He sang While playing the guitar.
- Since: I haven't seen her since last month.
- Subordinating Conjunctions:
- These introduce inferior( dependent) clauses, indicating a relationship
of dependence on the main clause. exemplifications include" because,"" although,"" since,""
while," and" if." For case," She went home because it was getting late."
These introduce dependent clauses, indicating a relationship of dependence.
- These introduce dependent clauses, indicating a relationship of
dependence.

- Correlative Conjunctions:
- These are dyads of convergences that work together to connect rudiments.
Common reciprocal convergences include"either.or,""neither.nor,""both.and,"" notonly.but
also," and"whether.or." For illustration," He's not only intelligent but also hardworking."
- These are pairs of conjunctions that work together.

Conjuction are necessary in constructing clear and grammatically correct rulings, allowing pens and
speakers to express complex ideas, connections, and contrasts in a coherent manner. They contribute
to the overall fluidity and effectiveness of communication by establishing logical connections
between different corridor of a text.
These examples illustrate how different types of conjunctions are used to connect and
relate elements in sentences, providing coherence and clarity to communication.
