Conjunctions
Conjunctions are words that connect words, phrases, clauses, or sentences together. They are used to express relationships between different parts of a sentence. There are three types of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions, and correlative conjunctions.

Rules for using conjunctions:
Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, or clauses of equal grammatical rank. They are used to join two independent clauses, to connect items in a series, or to coordinate ideas.
Subordinating conjunctions connect dependent clauses to independent clauses. They introduce adverbial clauses that indicate time, place, cause, or condition.
Correlative conjunctions are pairs of conjunctions that work together to connect words, phrases, or clauses. They are used to connect parallel structures in a sentence.
