A conjunction is a word which joins two clauses together. For example, in English:
I would love to come to your party but I’m washing my hair that night.
She works hard, although she’s a total maniac.
Or in German:
Wir machen ein Picknick und gehen danach in der Wald spazieren.
Ich spiele jeden Tag Dudelsack, wenn ich Zeit habe.
