A conjunction is a type of word whose function is to unite or establish a connection between words (Ana and her husband), phrases (We got home and ate together) or sentences (I choose to believe him. And even more so knowing the truth)

Conjunctions can be:

• Coordinators. They join words or phrases of the same hierarchy. For example: Pablo and Mónica visited the Coliseum.
• Subordinates. They join words or phrases from different hierarchies. For example: The people we invited could not come.
