What part of speech joins words phrases and clauses?

The part of speech that joins words, phrases, and clauses is a conjunction.

Here are some examples:

* Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, or clauses of equal grammatical rank:

* For, and, nor, but, or, yet, so

* Example: "The sun was shining, and the birds were singing."

* Subordinating conjunctions connect a dependent clause to an independent clause:

* Because, since, although, though, if, unless, while, after, before, until, as, when, where

* Example: "I stayed home from school because I was sick."

* Conjunctive adverbs connect independent clauses and show the relationship between them:

* Therefore, however, moreover, consequently, furthermore, nevertheless, otherwise

* Example: "I studied hard for the test; therefore, I feel confident."
