Conjunctions link words phrases or clauses creating more complex sentences. The most common coordinating conjunctions are for and nor but or yet so. Subordinating conjunctions like because although and if introduce dependent clauses. Correlative conjunctions appear in pairs such as either or and neither nor. Proper conjunction use helps maintain smooth logical flow. For example You can stay or go outlines two choices while She left because she was tired indicates a reason. Mastering conjunctions is crucial for combining ideas effectively improving clarity and adding variety. Overuse can lead to run-ons while underuse may cause choppy sentences.
