A conjunction is a linking or joining word. In a sentence, its role is to link (show a relationship between) several words, or it can link two related very short sentences into one longer sentence. One common conjunction is "and." For example, in this sentence: "John and Mary are getting married," the word "and" links John with Mary. Or, here are two short sentences about a related subject: I love Baseball. I'm glad the season is starting. I can use a conjunction to link them: "I love baseball, and I'm glad the season is starting."

Another common conjunction is "but." I love baseball, but I have no money to buy tickets to the game. And another conjunction is "or," which is often used to refer to one of two choices: "We can go fishing or we can go hunting." The word "so" can also be used as a conjunction: "He was really tired, so he went to bed."
