English Conjunctions
A conjunction is a word that functions as a connector between between other words, phrases,
clauses, or sentences.
Conjunctions join the thoughts expressed in phrses, clauses or sentences together.

Coordinating and correlative conjunctions are great when two ideas are of the same importance,
but many times one idea is more important than another.

Relative pronouns and relative adjectives are also used to join ideas together by creating
adjective or noun clauses, which allow a writer to create smoother, more flowing and effective
sentences by combining ideas.

Adverbs of time, place, and sequence are actually transitions of logic, but as such they also
have conjunctive force, because they connect ideas by showing a time relationship.
