Conjunctions, as adverbs, may be single or compound words, or even phrases. So they may be divided into:
1. Simple Conjunctions.
And, but, though, while, etc.
2. Compound Conjunctions.
Accordingly, however, nevertheless. therefore, etc.
3. Phrase Conjunctions.
As far as, in order that, on the other hand, etc.
Examples.
I admit he was late, but on the other hand he begged your pardon.
