How do you use "conjunction" in a sentence?

The coordinating conjunction 'but' signals a contrast between two independent clauses. Subordinating conjunctions like 'although' and 'because' introduce dependent clauses that cannot stand alone. The writer used the conjunction 'moreover' to add emphasis and connect her arguments.

Conjunctions are divided into coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so), subordinating conjunctions (because, although, while, if, unless), and correlative conjunctions (either...or, neither...nor, both...and). The old school rule against starting a sentence with a conjunction has been largely abandoned by modern style guides. Effective use of conjunctions is key to creating cohesive, well-structured prose.

连词分为并列连词（and、but、or、nor、for、yet、so）、从属连词（because、although、while、if、unless）和关联连词（either...or、neither...nor、both...and）。禁止以连词开头句子的旧式学校规则已被现代风格指南基本废弃。有效使用连词是创作连贯、结构严谨的文章的关键。

Las conjunciones se dividen en coordinantes (and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so), subordinantes (because, although, while, if, unless) y correlativas (either...or, neither...nor, both...and). La antigua regla escolar que prohíbe comenzar una oración con una conjunción ha sido en gran medida abandonada por las guías de estilo modernas. El uso eficaz de las conjunciones es clave para crear una prosa cohesiva y bien estructurada.

接続詞は、等位接続詞（and、but、or、nor、for、yet、so）、従位接続詞（because、although、while、if、unless）、相関接続詞（either...or、neither...nor、both...and）に分けられる。接続詞で文を始めてはならないという昔の学校の規則は、現代の文体指南ではほぼ廃止されている。接続詞の効果的な使用は、まとまりのある構成の良い文章を書く上で鍵となる。

접속사는 등위접속사(and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so), 종속접속사(because, although, while, if, unless), 상관접속사(either...or, neither...nor, both...and)로 나뉜다. 접속사로 문장을 시작해서는 안 된다는 오래된 학교 규칙은 현대 문체 지침에서 대부분 폐기되었다. 접속사를 효과적으로 사용하는 것은 응집력 있고 잘 구조화된 글을 쓰는 데 핵심이다.
