22. • A conjunction is a joiner, a
word that connects parts of a
sentence.
23. There are three basic types of
conjunctions.
– coordinating conjunctions used to
connect two independent clauses,
– subordinating conjunctions used to
connect the dependent clause and the
rest of the sentence, and
– correlative conjunctions which always
travel in pairs, and join sentence parts
that should be treated as equal.

• Coordinating conjunctions may join single
words, or they may join groups of words,
• The seven coordinating conjunctions in
English are:
F A N B O Y S

as equal.
