Conjunctions Conjunctions are words that connect two words, phrases, or clauses together. There are two main types of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions.

Coordinating Conjunctions Coordinating conjunctions connect two words, phrases, or clauses of equal importance. The most common coordinating conjunctions are and, but, or, nor, for, so, and yet.

Subordinating Conjunctions Subordinating conjunctions connect a subordinate clause to a main clause. Subordinate clauses are groups of words that cannot stand alone as a sentence. Some common subordinating conjunctions are because, although, if, unless, and while.

Adverb Clauses Adverb clauses are subordinate clauses that function as adverbs. They can modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Adverb clauses are often introduced by subordinating conjunctions.

Punctuation It is important to punctuate conjunctions and adverb clauses correctly. The most common punctuation marks used with conjunctions and adverb clauses are commas, semicolons, and dashes.
