A variety of useful English Conjunctions exists, which complete this list of the most used Cohesive Devices. Together, they can help to express a cohesive view and easy understandable and readable texts.
🔺There are three basic types of conjunctions:
1️⃣
used to connect two independent clauses
2️⃣
used to establish the relationship between the dependent clause and the rest of the sentence
3️⃣
used to join various sentence elements which are grammatically equal

Comes usually in the middle of a sentence, and a comma is used before the conjunction (unless both clauses are very short).
They join individual words, phrases, and independent clauses.
Whereas coordinating conjunctions join parts of a sentence, the purpose of transitional words and phrases usually is to join two 'sentences'.
🍂Examples:
🍃We can draw lessons from the past, but we cannot live in it.
🍃The purpose of most computer languages is to lengthen your resume by a word and a comma.

Also called subordinators, introduce a dependent clause. These adverbs that act like conjunctions are placed at the front of the clause - and a comma is needed at the end of the adverbial phrase when it precedes the main clause.
