The three categories of conjunctions (correlative, subordinating and coordinating), together with their lists, are useful, but it would be much more helpful if the page attempted to explain what these three categories are, how they work and what makes them distinct. The other (bigger) lists, on the other hand, are really unhelpful because they seem to be mainly adverbs, some of which are never used as conjunctions, many of which are predominantly used as adverbs, and really the thing ends up being a bit of a mess, giving examples of conjunctions that contradict the definition of conjunctions given at the… Read more »
This is an excellent analysis. I have students who use this page and I then have to reteach them the proper definition and use of conjunctions and how to identify them. The article, as you point out, has some helpful content but is grossly misleading in other areas.
Very interesting. Everywhere you can find those list called conjunctions with the same error, the most of the items presented there are not conjunctions, but I would say that they are connectives. I am Spanish and I am studying this topic at the moment and I am totally confused. Could you say that a conjunctive is a connective, right?
How would you classify the conjunctions and the connectives then? you would help me a lot if you could explain it to me better. Thanks!!
excellent

As a native speaker of English, I did not know there was more than one kind of “conjunction”. Thanks for all of your efforts in posting this information online.

Hi
