Preposition is a word used to link nouns, pronouns, or phrases
to other words within a sentence. Prepositions are usually
short words, and they are normally placed directly in front of
nouns. In some cases, youll find prepositions in front of
gerund verbs.
There are two very important rules to remember when using
prepositions. The first rule is that certain prepositions must
be used to make the relationships between words in a
sentence clear. Most prepositions are interchangeable but
only to a certain extent. The second rule for using
prepositions is that these words must be followed by nouns.

Conjunctive words - also called connectors - are words
that link two similar elements in a sentence. The main
categories of conjunctive words are coordinating
conjunctions, such as and or , and subordinating
conjunctions such as if, so that, because or while. But
it is also important to include conjunctive adverbs.
A small number of conjunctions and conjunctive adverbs
can link individual words or phrases; but the majority
can only link two clauses.
