Detailed Explanation
Conjunctions in German are mainly divided into two categories: coordinating (koordinierende Konjunktionen) and subordinating (subordinierende Konjunktionen). Coordinating conjunctions join elements of the same syntactic level, while subordinating conjunctions introduce subordinate clauses.
Their proper use is essential for expressing logical relationships such as cause, consequence, opposition, or addition between ideas.
