This document discusses two types of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions. Coordinating conjunctions join two independent clauses and include for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. Subordinating conjunctions connect an independent and dependent clause and include time/location conjunctions like after and when as well as reason/cause conjunctions like because and result/effect conjunctions like that. Examples of each type of conjunction are provided.
