Conjunction atau kata sambung adalah kata yang digunakan untuk menghubungkan unit-unit bahasa yang setara (kata dengan kata, frasa dengan frasa, klausa dengan klausa, kalimat dengan kalimat, dan seterusnya). Pemakaian conjunction dapat dicontohkan dengan kalimat di bawah ini

And menghubungkan kata (you) dengan kata (I) atau subjek dengan subjek.

Or menghubungkan frasa (your father) dan frase (your uncle) atau subjective complement dan subjective complement.

Compound conjuction dalah kata sambung yang menghubungkan hal-hal yang setara, misalnya subject dengan subject, verb dengan verb, object dengan object, adverb dengan adverb, adjective dengan adjective, dsb.
Compound conjuction dibagi menjadi 2, antara lain:
Anggota:
F – A – N – B – O – Y – S
Keterangan:

And (dan)

Catatan:
a) FANBOYS selalu terletak di tengah kalimat atau di antara dua kalimat. Tidak dibenarkan meletakkan mereka di awal kalimat. Contoh:
CORRECT : The child hid behind his mother’s skirt, for he was afraid of the dog.
INCORRECT : For he was afraid of the dog, the child hid behind his mother’s skirt.
Namun conjuction lain bisa digunakan untuk menggantikannya ketika di awal kalimat. Contoh:
Because he was afraid of the dog, the child hid behind his mother’s skirt.
b) Conjuction for, yet, dan so selalu menghubungkan kalimat dan koma selalu mengawali mereka.
c) And, ketika menghubungkan dua kalimat, memiliki tanda baca sebagai berikut:

Jika kalimat yang dihubungkan merupakan kalimat-kalimat pendek, koma dapat dihilangkan.
It was raining hard. And there was a strong wind.
