Conjunction
A conjunction is a word that "joins". A conjunction

joins two parts of a sentence. Here are some example conjunctions:

Coordinating Conjunctions For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So { FANBOYS} Subordinating Conjunction Although, because, unless, until

Function
Conjunctions have two basic functions or "jobs":
Coordinating conjunctions are used to join two

parts of a sentence that are grammatically equal. The two parts may be single words or clauses, for example: - Jack and Jill went up the hill. - The water was warm, but I didn't go swimming.

Subordinating conjunctions are used to join a

subordinate dependent clause to a main clause, for example: - I went swimming although it was cold.

Position
Coordinating conjunctions always come

between the words or clauses that they join.

Subordinating conjunctions usually come at the

beginning of the subordinate clause.

Preposition
A preposition is a word which shows relationships among

other words in the sentence. The relationships include direction, place, time, cause, manner and amount. EG : She went to the store, to is a preposition which shows direction. : He came by bus, by is a preposition which shows manner. : They will be here at three o'clock, at is a preposition which shows time : It is under the table, under is a preposition which shows place.

 A preposition always goes with a noun or

pronoun which is called the object of the preposition.

The preposition is almost always before the

noun or pronoun and that is why it is called a preposition. preposition together are called a prepositional phrase. Eg. by bus, to the store
