Conjunctions

FANBOYS
    Subordinating

      Use in Sentences and Writing

      Conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses to form clear, logical relationships in sentences and written communication. Coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS) join equal elements such as independent clauses, while subordinating conjunctions introduce dependent clauses to express relationships like cause, condition, time, and contrast. Together, they improve sentence flow, coherence, and overall clarity in writing.
