This article explores one of the foundational yet often misunderstood elements of Practical English Grammar: conjunctions. It examines the three major types—coordinating, subordinating, and correlative—explaining their functions, structures, and usage in real-life communication. By drawing on well-established grammar resources and examples, this article aims to clarify their roles in sentence construction and support both learners and educators in mastering their usage for clear and coherent expression.
