# PTE ASQ #27: Grammatical Conjunctions

Answer Short Question #27 - Level 2 - Feeds Listening

> You will hear a question. Please give a simple and short answer. Often just one or a few words is enough.

## Answer

Conjunction

## Explanation

The correct term is conjunction. Conjunctions are essential parts of speech that link words, phrases, or clauses to create complex sentences.

What to watch: The key words are "word" and "join clauses or sentences." A joining word like "and" or "but" is a "conjunction." One word is enough. Avoid "preposition," which links a noun to other words.

## Hints

- Think about words like 'and', 'but', or 'because'.
- The word starts with the letter 'C' and describes a joining function.

## Transcript

How do we refer to a word that is used to join clauses or sentences together?
