Conjunctions:
The definition of a conjunction is the joining together of elements and it is a word that connects sentences, phrases or clauses. An example of conjunction is classmates coming together to solve a math problem. An example of conjunction is the word "and." noun.
Prepositions:
A preposition is a word or group of words used before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to show direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to introduce an object.
Adverb:
An adverb is a word that modifies (describes) a verb (he sings loudly), an adjective (very tall), another adverb (ended too quickly), or even a whole sentence (Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella). Adverbs often end in -ly, but some (such as fast) look exactly the same as their adjective counterparts.
Verb:
Verbs are words that show an action (sing), occurrence (develop), or state of being (exist). Almost every sentence requires a verb. The basic form of a verb is known as its infinitive. (There is also a kind of noun, called a gerund, that is identical in form to the present participle form of a verb.)
Transitive and intransitive verb:
A transitive verb is one that only makes sense if it exerts its action on an object. An intransitive verb will make sense without one. ... A transitive verb needs to transfer its action to something or someone—an object. In essence, transitive means “to affect something else.”
Coordinating conjunction:
A coordinating conjunction is a word that joins two elements of equal grammatical rank and syntactic importance. They can combain two verbs, two nouns, two adjectives, two phrases, or two independent clauses. The seven coordinating conjunctions are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so.
