Kinds of conjunctions:
1. Coordinating conjunction:
Like: And, But, For, Nor, So, Yet.
2. Subordinating Conjunction:
Like: After, how, when, then, as much as, until, before, since, what.
3. Correlative Conjunction:
Like: Not only-But also, Either-Or, Neither-Nor, Both-And, Not-But.
Contractions:
The word, which is a combination of two words, is 'Contraction.' And such words get combined with the help of an apostrophe.
Like: is not- isn't, will not- want, do not- don't, he will- he'll, we would- we'd, it has- it's, and many more.
One can say that the contractions replace the words of the second letter. LIKE: does not- doesn't.
Here, in the word ''doesn't'', the word 'o' gets replaced with an 'apostrophe.' That means it is taking the place of 'o' in the word "doesn't."
