Conjunctions in Dutch grammar are essential for connecting words, phrases, clauses, or sentences. They help create a logical flow that makes the text easier to understand. In Dutch, conjunctions are divided into two main categories: coordinating conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions. Coordinating conjunctions (‘voegwoorden’) link independent clauses or sentences of equal importance, while subordinating conjunctions (‘onderschikkende voegwoorden’) link a dependent clause to an independent clause. Prevalent Dutch conjunctions include ‘en’ (and), ‘maar’ (but), ‘dus’ (so), and ‘of’ (or).
