• A conjunction is a word used to join words or sentences. Example : He plays and plays.

• Conjunction is divided into two parts and they are Co-ordinating conjunction and Sub-ordinating conjunction.

• A co-ordinating conjunction joins Co-ordinate sentences ( sentences of equal rank ) by using co-ordinators or linkers.

• Co-ordinating conjunction is divided into four parts : 1. Cumulative or Copulative, 2. Adversative, 3. Alternative, 4. Illative.

• Here in the first sentence and is one of the parts of Cumulative. Cumulative merely adds one statement or fact to another.

• And but is also a part of Adversative because it denotes a contrast.
