Conjunctions are linking words. We use them to link ideas. The ideas may be similar or contrasting.

There are two kinds - coordinating conjunctions and subordinating ones.

Coordinating conjunctions connect two independent clauses. They are mainly 7 in number. You can easily remember them using the mnemonic FANBOYS.

• For - I went to sleep; for, I was sleepy.

• And - Rishabh did the work and Jannat did, too.

• Nor - I did not know her; nor did she know me.

• But - I went outside but it was raining.

• Or - Have the cake or eat it.

• Yet - I was not the best student; yet, most teachers liked me.

• So - I went first to the interview; so, I had a good impression on the interviewers.

The subordinating conjunctions are used in complex sentences as they make independent clauses dependent. For example:

As, Since, Because, While, Whereas and many more .. to be used in complex sentences, for instānce: “I did my homework as my brother played”; here 'as my brother played' can't stand alone, so it is a subordinate clause, made dependent by the subordinating conjunction 'as'.
