3.9. Conjunctions

A conjunction is a part of speech that joins words, phrases or clauses. In this section different types of conjunctions are considered: coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions and correlative conjunctions. Coordinate conjunctions join words, phrases or clauses which have the same syntactic status. Subordinating conjunctions connect main and embedded clauses and correlative conjunctions, which consist of a pair of conjunctions, link words or phrases.
