CONJUNCTION.

A Conjunction is a part of speech that is chiefly used to connect sentences; so as, out of two or more sentences, to make but one. It sometimes connects only words.

Conjunctions are principally divided into two sorts, the Copalative and Disjunctive.

The Conjunction Copulative serves to connect or continue a sentence, by expressing an addition, a supposition, a cause, &c.; as "He and his brother reside in London ;" "I will go if he will accompany me;" "You are happy because you are good.”

The Conjunction Disjunctive serves, not only to connect and continue the sentence, but also to express opposition of meaning in different degrees; as; "Though he was frequently reproved, yet he did not reform;" They came with her, but went away without her."
