Lesson Summary
Conjunctions are joining words like 'and,' 'but,' and 'or' that connect words, phrases, or sentences.
Explanation
A conjunction links parts of a sentence together. 'And' adds information: 'I like cats and dogs.' 'But' shows a difference: 'I was tired but happy.' 'Or' gives a choice: 'Do you want juice or milk?'
