Conjunction

A conjunction is a word used to join word or groups of word. Different kinds of conjunctions do different jobs.

A coordinating conjunction connects words or groups of words used in the same way. The words joined may be used as subjects, objects, predicates, or any other sentence part.
Some common coordinating conjunction are and, but, or, nor, and yet. Use or or nor to introduce a choice.
