Types of Conjunctions

  • Coordinating Conjunctions: Connect words, phrases, or clauses of equal importance (e.g., and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet).

  • Subordinating Conjunctions: Connect a dependent clause to an independent clause (e.g., because, although, since, unless, while).

  • Correlative Conjunctions: Pairs of conjunctions that work together (e.g., either...or, neither...nor, both...and, not only...but also).
