A conjunction is a certain kind of word. A conjunction is a word that connects other words or parts of sentences together. If we say "cars and trucks," the conjunction "and" connects "cars" with "trucks." "And" is one of the most common conjunctions, but there are many others also. Words like "but," "so," "because," and "while" are some of the conjunctions we have in English.
In the sentence "I was hungry when I came home from swimming," the word "when" is a conjunction. The word "when" connects " I was hungry" with "I came home from swimming."- similar words:
