As, we know that the conjunctions are the words which join two words, sentences or two phrases together to make a long, meaningful and a complete sentence. Consider two sentences:

  1. My bus didn’t arrive at my stop. .

The two sentences are complete and have their own meanings, but they can be compiled together to make one sentence using the conjunction because. Now look at the sentence:

I am late today because my bus didn’t arrive at my stop.

You can also use the conjunction as to join the two sentences. The new sentence can also be written as:

I am late today as my bus didn’t arrive at my stop.
