What are Conjunctions?
Conjunction is a part of speech which is used to link two or more words, phrases, clauses or sentences.
For example ⇒ I like to sing and dance.
Here the word 'and' is connecting two sentences that are ⇒ 'I like to sing' and 'I like to dance'.

What are the types of conjunctions?
There are 3 types of conjunctions. They are ⇒
- Coordinating Conjunctions → This type of conjunctions join two words, phrases, sentences, etc, which might be parallel to the given sentence. In the English language, we have 7 main coordinating conjunctions. They are ⇒ for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so
These can be learnt by the acronyms 'FANBOYS'
F ⇒ For
A ⇒ And
N ⇒ Nor
B ⇒ But
O ⇒ Or
Y ⇒ Yet
S ⇒ So
For example ⇒ She is bought some fruits and vegetables.

- Subordinating Conjunctions → This type of conjunctions show compare and contrast in the sentence. These are used in a parallel sentence.
Some of the subordinating conjunctions are ⇒ neither - nor, either - or, not only - but also, etc.
For example ⇒ Neither Rhea nor Seema likes to eat leafy vegetables.

- Correlative Conjunctions → This type of conjunctions join the unparallel sentences.
Some of the correlative conjunctions are ⇒ what, before, after, although, than, because, etc.
For example ⇒ Even though her mother told her not to go to the party, she still went there along with her friends.
