In order to explain what a causal conjunction, we must first remember the definition of conjunction. A conjunction has the syntactic function of joining two propositions together. They are invariable words and do not have a lexical meaning since their function lies in the union of two words, phrases or sentences. that is, they act as links between:
- Two words. For example: The bus is green and blue.
- Two phrases. For example: My sister Maria and I went on vacation
- Two sentences. For example: We went to look for them, but they were no longer there.
The relations established by conjunctions in Spanish can be coordination or subordination.

- Conjunctions subordinates include subordinate clauses within main clauses. For example: The boys who played in the park went home.
