Conjunctions: Coordination, Correlation, Conjunction, and Subordination
- A conjunction is a part of speech that connects words or phrases.
- There are several different types of conjunctions.
- Coordinating conjunctions are conjunctions that join, or "coordinate," two or more items (such as words, clauses, or sentences) of equal importance.
- Subordinating conjunctions are conjunctions that join two separate clauses.

Eliminating Comma Splices and Fused Sentences
- A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses (or in other words, two clauses that each express a complete thought and could stand on its own as a full sentence) are joined only by a comma instead of an acceptable form of punctuation, such as a comma with a coordinating conjunction, a period or a semicolon.
- You can use a coordinating conjunction following the comma, and this also will indicate a relationship.
- Run-on sentences may not have any punctuation separating them, or they may have a coordinating conjunction between them, but without the comma that needs to accompany the coordinating conjunction in order to separate two independent clauses.
- You can use a coordinating conjunction and a comma, and this also will indicate a relationship.
-
Semicolons
- Semicolons also link clauses of equal importance, but unlike commas, do not always require a coordinating conjunction.
- Semicolons can join closely related independent clauses that are not linked with a coordinating conjunction:
- Semicolons can also be used between independent clauses linked with a transitional phrase or a conjunctive adverb.
