What is a conjunction sentence?

There's no such thing as a "conjunction sentence." Conjunctions are words that connect words, phrases, or clauses. They are not sentences themselves.

Here's a breakdown:

* Sentence: A complete thought that expresses a statement, question, command, or exclamation. It typically has a subject and a verb.

* Conjunction: A word that joins words, phrases, or clauses. Examples include "and," "but," "or," "so," "because," "yet," "nor," "for," "while," "although," "since," "unless," "until," "if," "whether," and "either/or."

Here's how conjunctions work in sentences:

* Connecting words: "I like apples and oranges."

* Connecting phrases: "I went to the store to buy groceries. Afterward, I went for a walk."

* Connecting clauses: "I went to the beach because it was a sunny day."

Examples of sentences using conjunctions:

* "I went to the park and played frisbee."

* "The weather was cold, but I still went for a run."

* "I like pizza, or I like pasta."

To clarify: You can use conjunctions to create compound sentences (two or more independent clauses joined by a conjunction) or complex sentences (an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses joined by a conjunction).
