A conjunction is a word that joins together words, phrases, or parts of sentences. The three most-used conjunctions are and, or, and but.

Conjunctions can join words together, like in this sentence:

Conjunctions can also join phrases together, like in this sentence:

Do want to go down the hill or up the mountain?

Conjunctions also join parts of sentences together, as shown here:

  • although
  • because
  • if
  • since
  • though
  • unless
