When do you use conjunctions?

Answer 1

A conjunction can be used to connect words in a sentence that have the same function (he and I, left and returned, right or wrong, big and tall, slowly but surely).

Conjunctions are also used to add clauses together, either making short sentences into longer ones or adding modifying dependent clauses to independent ones.

e.g. He is going to the bank and she is going to her school. (two independent clauses)

e.g. He will return when his class is over. I will go to college if I can afford it. (dependent clauses added)

Answer 2

Conjunctions are used to connect words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence. They can be used to link similar ideas (e.g. "and", "or") or show relationships between contrasting ideas (e.g. "but", "although"). Conjunctions are commonly used in compound sentences and complex sentences to create a smooth flow of ideas.
