Conjunction

Question:

Pick out and underline the conjunctions/connectors/linkers and write whether they are  coordinating or subordinating conjunctions.

Explanation:

Subordinating conjunctions join the dependent clause with an independent clause.

   'and' is a conjunction in this sentence. It is coordinating conjunction.
