Conjunctions phrases, clauses or sentences.
There are three basic types of conjunctions
Coordinating Conjunctions: used to connect two independent clauses
Subordinating Conjunctions: used to establish the relationship

between the dependent clause and the rest of the sentence
Correlative Conjunctions: used to join various sentence elements

which are grammatically equal
Examples:
Coordinating Conjunctions

it. [Lyndon B. Johnson]
The purpose of most computer languages is to lengthen your
resume by a word and a comma. [Larry Wall]

conjunctions. To remember them, the acronym FANBOYS can be
used.
1. F = for
2. A = and
3. N = nor
4. B = but
5. O = or
6. Y = yet
7. S = so

Basically, the function of interjections is to express
emotions or sudden bursts of feelings. They can
express a wide variety of emotions such as:
excitement, joy, surprise, or disgust.
Whew! That was really close!

Hooray! I got the job!
Oh well, what’s done is done.
Ugh! I’m never doing that again!

otras palabras, verbos, adjetivos, nombres, etc: ¡ojo!, ¡cuidado!,
¡bravo!, ¡magnífico!, ¡oiga!, ¡vaya!, ¡narices!, ¡estupendo!, etc.
