Think of conjunctions as link-words that join two nouns, phrases, clauses or parts of a sentence:

She asked Bernard if he intended going out and he told her to mind her own business.

She told him he could stay if he promised to be more polite.

There are three types of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions, which link words, phrases and clauses of equal importance; subordinating conjunctions, which link less important units to one or more of greater importance; and correlative conjunctions, which are used in pairs. They are all described on page 141.
