Conjunction is a word which is used to link a word or a group of words to the other part of the sentences and it shows the relationship between them. There are mainly three kinds of Conjunction as follow:
1) Coordinating Conjunctions
2) Correlative Conjunctions
3) Subordinating Conjunction

1) COORDINATING CONJUNCTION
Coordinating conjunction is used to join a single word like noun, pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb, phrase or clause. There are seven Coordinating conjunctions that are called FANBOYS. They are For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet and So.
Syntax:
Sentence + , + FANBOYS + Sentence
Example:
1. She stares at me, for she loves me.
2. I know you, and I pity you.
3. He can’t dive a car, nor can you dive it.
4. She is honest with him, but he doesn’t believe her.
5. Don’t move, or I will kill you.
6. They didn’t learn their lessons, yet they passed their lessons.
7. We are tired, so we stopped playing football.

2) CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTION
Correlative conjunctions are conjunctions which are used in pair and they emphasize the elements that join together. There are four pairs of Correlative conjunctions as follow:
1) Both ...and...
2) Either ...or...
3) Neither...nor...
4) Not only ...but also...
Example:
- I drink both tea and coffee.
- She will either choose me or him.
- He is neither famous nor popular.
- She speaks not only sweetly but also softly.

3) SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTION
A subordinating conjunction is a word or phrase that links a dependent clause to an independent clause. This word or phrase indicates that a clause has informative value to add to the sentence’s main idea, signaling a cause-and-effect relationship or a shift in time and place between the two clauses. (A dependent clause, also known as a subordinate clause, is a clause with two specific qualities. Firstly, it does not express a complete unit of thought on its own; it cannot stand as its own sentence. Secondly, it depends upon an independent clause—one that can stand on its own as a complete sentence—to form a complete idea.) 
Some subordinating conjunctions are for, as, since, though, due to, provided that, because of, unless and because, once, while, when, whenever, where, wherever, before, and after, that.
Examples:-
-The sausages are burnt because you cooked them for too long.
-They traveled to India because  they wanted to try traditional Indian food.
-He doesn’t agree with her due to her absurd ideas.
-I decided to buy natural yoghurt since John wants to be healthy.
-He wanted to find a new job, therefore he started looking for one.
-My father believes that I should be a writer.
-He works so hard that he can provide everything we need.
-I trust him because he is a trustworthy person.
-My life will be blessed if I fulfill his dreams.
-He will always support me whether I succeed or not.
-I started writing when I was eight.
-Everyone asked me how I wrote such stories at that age.
-I did not understand why people used give compliments to me.
-I did not feel good about it as I was always an introvert.
-I did not have so many friends until I was admitted to college.
-I used to sit alone and think about many things while others played on the ground.
-I did not even talk to them lest they should insult me.
-Though I tried to be free with them, they did not seem to like me.
-No one could tell me where I could get some peanuts.
-Alex and Sean became my best friends after I had admitted to college.
-They came to talk to me as soon as I entered the classroom.
-It was a long time since someone had come to talk with me on their own.
