Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinating conjunctions refer to a group of words that coordinate and join at least two or more sentences that have same syntactic importance. There are seven coordinating conjunctions: or, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so.

Correlative conjunctions refer to a group of words which correlate sentences with the same importance, by working in pairs. Correlative conjunctions are: either/or, neither/nor, not only/ but also.

Subordinating conjunctions refer to a group of words that link a dependent clause with an independent clause. There are different types of subordinating conjunctions, like: conjunctions that are showing cause and effect: because, for, as, since, therefore, hence, due to, unless, so/so that, etc; conjunctions that are expressing time and place relations, like: while, when, where, before, after, etc.

Conjunctive adverbs refer to a group of words that connect two clauses and to clarify ideas expressed in those clauses. Conjunctive adverbs are: also, moreover, instead, in fact, however, finally, etc.
