A conjunction is a word that helps to join words, groups of words or sentences together.

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

Coordinating conjunctions are used to link or join two words or phrases or sentences of
equal importance. They do not depend on each other. They include: for, and, nor, but, or,
yet, so, i.e. FANBOYS.
