Conjunctions are essential parts of speech that connect words, phrases, or clauses in sentences. This guide explores the three main types of conjunctions: coordinating (e.g., FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so), correlative (e.g., both...and, either...or, neither...nor), and subordinating (e.g., although, since, while). Each type serves a distinct function, enhancing sentence structure and coherence. Included are examples and exercises to help reinforce the understanding and usage of conjunctions in everyday writing.
