We discussed three different types of conjunctions last semester. Can you name any of the three? (Without looking)

Page 69. The three types of conjunctions: Coordinating, Correlative, and Subordinating

What do conjunctions do?

A conjunction joins single words or groups of words within a sentence. ​

They combine two independent clauses with a comma. (Remember, an independent clause can technically be a complete sentence)

​Think of it this way...

A coordinating conjunction joins words or groups of words that are equal in grammatical importance.
