Conjunctions are linking words like and, or, but, then and because. The two main types of conjunctions are coordinating (words such as and and but) and subordinating.

What words are linking words?

• First / firstly, second / secondly, third / thirdly etc.
• Next, last, finally.
• In addition, moreover.
• Further / furthermore.
• Another.
• Also.
• In conclusion.
• To summarise.

What is the word because in grammar?

Because is a subordinating conjunction, which means that it connects a subordinate clause to an independent clause; good style dictates that there should be no comma between these two clauses. An exception can and should be made when the lack of a comma would cause ambiguity.
