Everything that you need to know about conjunctions

Conjunctions join words, sentences, phrases, or clauses.

Examples: and, then, but, however, or, even.

Inexperienced writers overuse conjunctions, and they end up with too many thoughts in one sentence. Long sentences do not impress readers. They show a writer’s ignorance and chase readers away.

More examples: and, but, either…or, neither…nor, that, as, after, before, since, when, where, if.

There are three types of conjunctions: coordinating, subordinating, and correlative conjunctions.

Coordinating conjunctions

A coordinating conjunction is a word that joins two elements of equal grammatical rank and syntactic importance. They can join two verbs, two nouns, two adjectives, two phrases, or two independent clauses. The seven coordinating conjunctions are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so.
