Conjunction
As the word says, con + junction, there are words which act as a junction between the different sentences. They are used so that the sentences may intersect each other.
Hence, its official definition is,
Conjunction is a word used to connect clauses or sentences or coordinate words with the same clause.
As for example
(I like cooking. I like eating.)
(She is exhausted. She wants to dance.)
Both words in bold above are conjunctions and as we can see, they join 2 different sentences to form a single sentence.
List of Conjunctions
Uses- I would like pizza and salad for lunch.
Uses- Neither I like him, nor does my friend.
Uses- I can stay out until the clock strikes 12.

Note!
It is a pure myth that if a sentence starts with a conjunction, it's grammatically incorrect. I want to clear it right now that it is absolutely valid to use conjunction for starting any sentence. |
