A [[conjunction]] is a word that connects [[dependent clause]]s or sentences: compare with [[preposition]]s, which put [[phrases]] and [[noun]]s in relation to each other. Conjunctions tend to be simple, easy words that you’ll instantly recognise: [[and]]; [[or]]; [[but]]; [[if]]. The [[mediocre lawyer]]’s job is to convert these into more complicated words or, where possible, [[conjunctival phrase]]s that, unless you are practised in the turgid literature of business dialect, you won’t. | {{pe}}A [[conjunction]] is a word that connects [[dependent clause]]s or sentences: compare with [[preposition]]s, which put [[phrases]] and [[noun]]s in relation to each other.
