Characteristics:
1) Linking Ideas: Conjunctions are words that join together other words, phrases, or sentences. They help create more complex sentences and show how ideas are connected.
2) Types: There are three main types of conjunctions:
Coordinating Conjunctions (like "and," "but," "or") connect words or phrases that are equally important.
Subordinating Conjunctions (such as "because," "although," "while") start dependent clauses and explain how they relate to the main part of the sentence.
Correlative Conjunctions (for example, "either...or," "neither...nor," "both...and") work in pairs to connect similar ideas.
