My computer was working very slowly, so I had to restart it for the updates to take effect.

To join two sentences, words, clauses, or phrases, conjunctions are used. Here, 'so' is the required conjunction that establishes a connection between the two sentences.

There are basically three different types of conjunctions-

1. Coordinating Conjunctions-

For example, and, or, nor, but, so, for, yet, etc.

2. Subordinating Conjunctions-

For example, because, although, when, until, since, while, etc.

3. Correlative Conjunctions-

For example, Either or, Neither nor, not only, both and, but also, etc.
