RConjunction

is the glue that holds words, phrases and clauses (both dependent and independent) together. There are three different kinds of conjunctions -- coordinating, subordinating, and correlative -- each serving its own, distinct purpose, but all working to bring words together.

​ex: Peter and Paul are best friends.

RCoordinating and Subordinating

serve as a cue within a sentence, signaling the reader that another idea is coming. Coordinating conjunctions link ideas by showing how they relate. For example, a word like "and" indicates two ideas go together. A subordinating conjunction indicates that one idea depends on another. For instance, in this sentence the word "unless" depends on the action that follows it:

​ex: We will be late unless we leave now.

RCorrelative

join elements within a sentence, indicating the two are of equal importance. The words "neither" and "nor" work this way in this sentence:

​ex: I like neither carrots nor celery.
