CONJUNCTIONS A conjunction is a linking word that connects words, word groups, sentences, or sentence groups.

There are three types of conjunctions: 1) Co-ordinating Conjunctions You use a co-ordinating conjunction ("and," "but," "or," "nor," "for," "so," or "yet") to join individual words, phrases, and independent clauses.

2) Subordinating Conjunctions The most common subordinating conjunctions are "after," "although," "as," "because," "before," "how," "if," "once," "since," "than," "that," "though," "till," "until," "when," "where," "whether," and "while." A subordinating conjunction joins a subordinate clause to a main clause. Jill came tumbling after Jack had fallen. If the paperwork arrives on time, your cheque will be mailed on Monday

The most common correlative conjunctions are "both...and," "either...or," "neither...nor,", "not only...but also," "so...as," and "whether...or.", so..that, inspite.. of Both my grandmother and my mother cook the same type of food .
