What is a Conjunction?

You can use a conjunction to link words, phrases, and clauses, as in the following example:

I ate the pizza and the pasta.

Call the movers when you are ready.

A conjunction is a word that joins two or more words, phrases, or clauses.

Think of them as gluing words. They glue words, phrases, or clauses together.

For example, if you would like to have your friend bring music and snacks to your party, it's pretty hard to do it without a conjunction.

You could say:

"Bring music. Bring snacks."

But it's more efficient to say:

"Bring music and snacks."

And it's more polite to say:

"Please bring music and snacks." See how the conjunction and glues the words music and snacks together?
