Some sentence structures connect clauses with conjunctions and some may use semicolons. When neither is present, clauses run into each other improperly.

In some cases, a conjunction can be left out of compound forms and the sentence remain proper:

"Mark showed the boys his rifle but not his pistol."

"Mark showed the boys his rifle, not his pistol." (for clauses, a semicolon instead of a comma)

Is it's a conjunction?

No, it is not a conjunction. A conjunction connects sentence clauses.It's is a contraction, a shorter combined form of two words. It means "it is."Be careful not to confuse it's with the sound alike word its. Without an apostrophe, that word is the possessive form of it; i.e., "belonging to it". For example: It's (it is) unfortunate that the book is missing its first chapter (the first chapter of the book).

Is then or than a conjunction?

The word then can be a conjunction, and also an adverb (and hyphenated as an adjective).The word than is also a conjunction, used as a comparative. Arguably, it serves as a preposition where there the understood verb is missing. (He is taller than I, or He is taller than me)Confusion can occur in sentences using sooner...than (e.g. He had no sooner entered the house than a quarrel erupted). Sooner does not pair with then.

Can you begin a sentence with for as a conjunction and not as a preposition?

No. For this to occur, the word 'for' must be a preposition.Example: "For the final battle, the emperor chose his strongest warriors."When the word "for" means "because" it has to follow the independent clause."We must surrender, for we have nowhere to hide."Compare this to using "as" in exactly the same context, where it can come first."As we have nowhere to hide, we must surrender."This appears to be a quirk of using "for" as a conjunction.
