Conjunctions join words or groups of words. There are two primary types of conjunctions.

Coordinating Conjunctions

The most common type of conjunction is the coordinating conjunctions. They are:

• and
• but
• or
• nor
• for
• so
• yet

Coordinating conjunctions are often used with a comma (when combining two independent clauses to form a compound sentence).

• both / and
• whether / or
• either / or
• neither / nor
• not only / but also
