In grammar, a conjunct is any connected or combined element that contributes to sentence cohesion.

Conjunctions include coordinating, subordinating, and correlative types, each serving different grammatical purposes.

Conjunct adverbs modify entire clauses and link them to previous sentences or clauses to show sequence, contrast, or cause and effect.

A conjunct can involve words, phrases, or any elements that are linked together to form a cohesive unit.

Conjunctions are primarily used in grammar and do not typically have roles outside linguistic contexts.

No, conjuncts and conjunctions are distinct; conjuncts refer to connected elements in various contexts, while conjunctions are specific grammar parts connecting words or clauses.

Conjuncts enhance readability by creating logical or thematic connections between different parts of a text.

A conjunction connects words, phrases, or clauses, facilitating smoother and more coherent communication.

An example would be: "She stayed home because it was raining."
