     Introduction

A word that is used to join two words or sentences is known as a Conjunction.

•   Reema and Rita are friends.
•   This copy and that book are same.
•   The elephant is big but the mouse is small.
•   Amar cannot sit because the chair is dirty.

In the first sentence the word "and" is joining two words "Reema" and "Rita". In the second sentence the word "and" is joining two words "this copy" and 'that book".

In the third sentence the word "but" is joining two sentences "the elephant is big and "the mouse is small".

In the fourth sentence the word "because" is joining two sentences "Amar cannot sit" and "the chair is dirty".

In this way the words "and, "but "and" because" are joining two words or two sentences. These words are called Conjunctions.
