Definition:
Conjunctions are words that connect and build logical relationships between complete sentences
or sentence elements. There are 5 types of conjunctions.

Conjunctions by Types

The short and simple transitions (two or three letters). Use a comma and one of followings
(FANBOYS - For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So) to show the way your ideas are related to each
other, to avoid short, choppy sentences, and to correct grammatical errors such as run-on
sentences.
