A conjunction is a word that links words, phrases, or clauses. There are two major types of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions, which connect grammatically equal elements, and subordinating conjunctions, which introduce dependent clauses. Common coordinating conjunctions include FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so), while common subordinating conjunctions include if, unless, although, even though, because, when, while, so that.
