Definition:-

Conjunction is a part of speech which is use to join different words, phrase or sentences.

Let's learn conjunction with examples-

She didn't speak to anyone, and nobody speak to her.

See carefully, here " She didn't speak to anyone " is a sentence and " Nobody speak to her" is a sentence. These two are meaningful and different sentences. So the word join them together is "and".This is the thing which join the sentences together. So in this sentences " and " is a conjunction.

Types of conjunction:-

There are three types of conjunction

1) Coordinating Conjunctions

2) Subordinating Conjunctions

3) Correlative Conjunctions


1) Coordinating Conjunctions:- Coordinating Conjunctions is a conjunction which join two sentences of equal grammatical rank and synthetic importance.like for, and so, yet, or etc.

Example:- I will go to shopping or I will got to campaign.

2) Subordinating Conjunctions:-

Subordinating Conjunctions is a conjunction which join sentences using where, when, while, before, after,because, once, though etc.

Example:- I read newspaper because it provides information.
