Conjunctions Conjunctions are words that join words, phrases, or sentence parts. In English there are three kinds of conjunctions.
Coordinate conjunctions join similar words, phrases , or clauses to each other.
In English the main coordinate conjunctions are and, or, for, but, nor, so and yet. Correlative conjunctions also join similar words, phrases, or clauses, but act in pairs. Subordinating conjunctions join a subordinate clause to a main clause. For a listing see the Glossary entry on Subordinating Conjunctions. English Plus, All rights reserved.
