A conjunction ties together parts of a sentence and clarifies the relationship


between ideas or events. Coordinating conjunctions such as and or but connect
words, phrases, and clauses of equal importance. Subordinating conjunctions
such as after or until connect a less important clause to a more important clause.
Examples:
Jarrod was hungry, so he ate a snack. (coordinating conjunction)
Although Tina was tired, she didn’t have time for a nap. (subordinating conjunction)
It was Friday, and I couldn’t wait for the weekend to start. (coordinating conjunction)
