A conjunction is a word which joins sentences or clauses together. A conjunction is merely a connecting word. It performs no other function in the sentence.
There are two types of conjunctions – coordinating and subordinating. A coordinating conjunction joins two clauses of equal importance. Examples are: and, but, as well as, both…and, yet, or, either…or, for, so etc. A subordinating conjunction joins a main clause with a subordinating clause. Examples are: whether, if, while, when, though, since, before etc.
Fill in the blanks with appropriate conjunctions.
