* "But" is usually used as a coordinating conjunction; it is only used as a preposition when used in the place of "except." For example, consider these sentences:
I ate everything but the Doritos.
Everyone is wrong but me.
In this case, you are speaking about all times but once, or all locations or items but one. I just used "but" as a preposition twice in that sentence, too.
Now, concerning conjunctions, there are three categories: coordinating, correlative, and subordinating. Here is the breakdown by category.
Coordinating Conjunctions: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So
You can use the acronym FANBOYS to remember all seven of them.
Correlative Conjunctions: both, and; not only, but also; either, or; neither, nor; whether, or; as, as; such, that; scarcely, when; as many, as; no sooner, than; rather, than.
Correlative conjunctions work in pairs to connect related ideas. There are many combinations.
Subordinating Conjunctions:
Common Subordinating Conjunctions
after
although
as
because
before
even if
even though
how
if
in order that
|
no matter
once
provided that
rather than
since
so that
than
that
though
unless
|
until
what
when
whenever
where
whereas
wherever
whether
while
why
|
Subordinating conjunctions start dependent clauses, and they answer the questions when, why, and if, or they show opposition.
