Conjunctions

Topic: Conjunction
A conjunction is a word that joins together words, phrases,
or parts of sentences. The three most-used conjunctions
are and, or, and but.
Conjunctions can join words together, like in this sentence:
I'd like five peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, please.
Conjunctions can also join phrases together, like in
this sentence:
Do want to go down the hill or up the mountain?
Conjunctions also join parts of sentences together,
as shown here:

I ran, but the ice cream melted before I got home.
Here are some conjunctions  that you use every day:
