what is a conjunction?

Answer 1

Conjunction is a term used in positional astronomy and astrology. It means that, as seen from some place (usually the Earth), two celestial bodies appear near one another in the sky. The event is also sometimes known as an appulse.

In grammar, a conjunction is a part of speech that connects two words, phrases, or clauses together. This definition may overlap with that of other parts of speech, so what constitutes a "conjunction" should be defined for each language. In general, a conjunction is an invariable grammatical particle, and it may or may not stand between the items it conjoins.

The definition can also be extended to idiomatic phrases that behave as a unit with the same function as a single-word conjunction (as well as, provided that, etc.).
Coordinating conjunctions, also called coordinators, are conjunctions that join two items of equal syntactic importance. As an example, the traditional view holds that the English co-ordinating conjunctions are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so (which form the mnemonic FANBOYS
Correlative conjunctions are pairs of conjunctions which work together to coordinate two items. English examples include both … and, either … or, not (only) … but (… also).

Subordinating conjunctions, also called subordinators, are conjunctions that introduce a dependent clause; English examples include after, although, if, unless, and because. Another way for remembering is "BISAWAWE" which are : "because", "if", "so", "after", "when", "although", "while", and "even though".

Answer 2

There are two usual ways of joining independent clauses within a single sentence. The first way is to put a comma after the first independent clause and to follow the comma with a coordinating conjunction - and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet. The second way is to use a semicolon.

Answer 3

A conjunction is a word that syntactically links words or larger constituents, and expresses a semantic relationship between them.
