Coordinating conjunctions include words like and, but, or, nor, for, yet and so. Common subordinating conjunctions include although, because, once, unless, wherever

For instance, the complementizers that, if and the Arabic complementizer ʔanna are used to introduce finite clauses, while for and the Arabic ʔan are, of course
”I have a dad bod. Here’s why women love it” - Peter Holley It is a well-known fact that men and women are attracted to each other, excluding homosexuals.

A periodic sentence is a complex sentence that saves the main point for the end of the sentence (Finn and Weinstein 70). Simple sentences are when a writer only writes about a main action.
