Conjunctions are words that conned the parts of a
Sentence. Conjunction means to join together.

agus mhothaich e buidheann ghaolach ann an deireadh
na luinge agm ghabh e g' an ionnsuidh. Thainig an
t-am ach cha robh esan ri f haotainn.
Interjections are expressions of emotion, as —

Interjections have no governing connection
with the other parts of a Sentence.
