<h2>What are Conjunctions?</h2>
=== What Are Conjunctions? ===
 
Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases, or clauses together. In Hebrew, just like in English, they help us form complex sentences and express relationships between different ideas. For example, conjunctions can show addition, contrast, or choice.
 
=== Importance of Conjunctions in Hebrew ===
 
In Hebrew, conjunctions are essential for:
 
* '''Creating complex sentences:''' They help us express more complex thoughts and ideas.
 
* '''Improving fluency:''' Using conjunctions correctly enhances your speaking and writing skills.
 
* '''Connecting ideas:''' Conjunctions help you convey your thoughts more clearly and effectively.
 
=== Types of Conjunctions ===
 
In Hebrew, conjunctions can be categorized into several types. Let’s explore the main ones:
 
==== Coordinating Conjunctions ====
 
Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, or clauses of equal importance. Common coordinating conjunctions in Hebrew include:
 
* ו (ve) - "and"
 
* או (o) - "or"
 
* אבל (aval) - "but"
 
==== Subordinating Conjunctions ====
 
Subordinating conjunctions connect a dependent clause to an independent clause. They indicate relationships such as cause, condition, or time. Some common subordinating conjunctions in Hebrew are:
 
* כי (ki) - "because"
 
* אם (im) - "if"
 
* כאשר (ka'asher) - "when"
 
=== Examples of Conjunctions in Hebrew ===
 
Let’s look at some examples of how conjunctions are used in Hebrew sentences.

<p>Conjunctions are words that connect words, phrases, or clauses. In Hebrew, conjunctions are used to build complex sentences, express relationships between ideas, and clarify the meaning of a sentence.</p>

| היא חכמה אבל עצלנית. || hi chachama aval atzalnit. || She is smart but lazy.


<h3>Coordinating Conjunctions</h3>

<p>Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, or clauses that are of equal importance in a sentence. They include the following:</p>
| אני עייף כי אני לא ישנתי. || ani ayef ki ani lo yashanti. || I am tired because I did not sleep.


<ul>

<li><b>וְ (ve)</b> – means "and"</li>
