Conjunctions are joining words or phrases that connect together phrases to form longer sentences. I want you to go to the bar and buy me a drink. Compound conjunctionsCompound conjunctions come as phrases, where several words together act as a join. They typically end in 'as' or 'that'. I will come with you as long as you promise to buy me a drink. Subordinating conjunctionsA Subordinating conjunction joins a subordinate clause to the main clause. A subordinate clause has dependency on the main clause, and cannot stand alone. I will buy you a drink, although you do not deserve it. Correlative conjunctionsCorrelative conjunctions surround a word or phrase and show how the two phrases are correlated (often causally). I am so very rich that I will buy you a drink. Pseudo-conjunctionsSometimes other parts of speech can be act as conjunctions. I'll call you directly I get home. (adverbial conjunction) I'll call you the instant I get home. (nominal conjunction) I'll call you, seeing as you are here. (verbal conjunction) See also
