conjuction ! Preposition ! Adverb !

CONJUCTION
  1.          Conjunctions connect words or groups of words.
  2.         Unlike prepositions, conjunctions don’t have objects.  Rather, they serve as a way to show     a   relationship between two words.

  1.      And
  2.      But
  3.      For
  4.      Nor
  5.      Or
  6.      So
  7.      Yet

Correlative Conjunction  
Similar to coordinating conjunctions in that they connect the same type of words, but work in pairs.
a.    both…and
b.    either/neither….or
c.    not only…..but also
d.    whether.....or

Subordinating Conjunction
Connect things which are not equal. One is less important (subordinate) than the other.
E.g:
1 - Because it rained all day, our basement filled up with water.
2 - did the planning after he made reservations
