Conjunctions are words that connect clauses or sentences. Here are some common
types of conjunctions along with examples:

1. Coordinating Conjunctions

These connect words, phrases, or independent clauses that are similar or equal.

 For: She was happy, for she had passed the exam.

 And: I like to read, and I enjoy writing.

 Nor: He doesn’t like coffee, nor does he like tea.

 But: I wanted to go for a walk, but it started to rain.

 Or: Would you prefer tea or coffee?

 Yet: She is very talented, yet she remains humble.

 So: It was getting late, so we decided to leave.

2. Subordinating Conjunctions

These connect an independent clause with a dependent clause.

 Although: Although it was raining, we went for a hike.

 Because: She was late because she missed the bus.

 Since: Since you are here, let’s start the meeting.

 Unless: I won't go unless you come with me.

 While: While I was studying, my brother was playing video games.

3. Correlative Conjunctions

These work in pairs to connect equal elements in a sentence.

 Either...or: You can either stay here or come with us.

 Neither...nor: He is neither tall nor short.

 Both...and: She is both intelligent and hardworking.

 Not only...but also: Not only did he win the race, but he also set a new

record.

4. Conjunctive Adverbs

While not traditional conjunctions, they connect two independent clauses and act
like adverbs.

 However: I wanted to go; however, it was too late.

 Therefore: She studied hard; therefore, she passed the exam.

 Moreover: The book was interesting; moreover, it was informative.
