A conjunction (in French, conjonction) is a word that connects words, phrases or clauses.

In French, there are two types of conjunctions:

1. les conjonctions de coordination (coordinating conjunctions)
2. les conjonctions de subordination (subordinating conjunctions)

* Coordinating conjunctions include words such as mais, ou, et, or and so on.

* Subordinating conjunctions include words such as parce que, avant que, bien que, and many others and introduce a subordinating clauseNous ré. Generally speaking, subordinating conjunctions will be introduced by "que" (or an extended variant of it as seen above) plus a conjugated verb.
