Las llamadas conjunctions o conjunciones, son palabras que funcionan como unión entre diferentes elementos o clausulas en una sentencia. Se las utilizan para conectar frases, cláusulas y oraciones entre sí y pueden ubicarse tanto al principio de la oración: conjunction + sentencia_1 + sentencia_2 como entre dos sentencias o elementos: sentencia_1 + conjunction + sentencia_2.
