Some colourful sweets.

Coordinating Conjunctions are words or phrases that join two parts of a sentence.
I went to the shop, and I bought some bread.
Other conjunctions that join two main clauses:

You can remember them as the FANBOYS joining words.

There are also lots of conjunctions you can use to join a main clause to a subordinate clause.

These conjunctions can also go at the start of a sentence.
