Conjunctions
Thought I'd search out these as I couldn't find a list on the site. Please feel free to add or challenge and I will alter the list.
And also, why not practise constructing sentences to incorporatethe lsit
Indicating opposition among the elements that they join.:
Pero / but
Mas / however
Sino / but, rather
Sin embargo / nevertheless, however
No obstante / regardless
Antes bien / on the contrary
Con todo / even so
Más bien que / rather than
Fuera de / apart from
Excepto / except
Salvo / Except (for)
Menos / but
Más que / even if, however much
Antes / before
Que no /
Quería un helado, pero no tenía dinero. / I wanted an ice cream, but I did not have enough money.
Subordinating one sentence to another.
que / that.
Soñé que volaba. / I dreamed that I was flying.
Díle que no me gusta. / Tell him that I don't like it.
Subordinating one sentence to another.
Porque / because
Pues / because
Ya que / since, seeing that
Puesto que / although, since, as long as
Pues que / since
Supuesto que /
Que / that, because
De que / of
Como / as, since
Por razón de que / for the reason that
En vista de que /
Dado que / given that
Por cuanto / in as much as
A causa de que / because
Por lo cual / therefore

To express the logical result of any action.
Luego / then
Así pues / therefore
Conque /
Así que / As soon as, after, that is why
Por consiguiente / therefore
Por tanto / therefore
Por lo tanto / therefore

De manera que / in such a way that
De modo que / so that, in such a way that
Que / that, because
Se cayó la niña, así que la llevaron al doctor. / The girl fell down, that's why she was taken to the doctor.
Introducing a sentence that will realize the main verb action;
Para que / in order that, so that.
A fin de que / so that, in order that.
Con el objeto de que / with the purpose of.
Con el fin de que / with the purpose of.
Trabajó duro con el fin de que pudiera comprarse un coche. / He worked hard for the purpose of buying a car.
Introducing a sentence that expresses difficulty in fulfilling what the main sentence requires. This difficulty does not always avoid the main action fulfillment. :
Aunque / although
Por más que /
Si bien /
Aun cuando / even if
A pesar de que / despite
Así /
Como /
Siquiera / though, although, whether, or
Ya que / since, seeing that
Bien que/
Mal que /
No hemos ahorrado lo suficiente a pesar de que nos hemos esforzado / We have not saved enough, despite the fact we have tried very hard.

Hi Harry
I put a conjunctions list in the vocab section. Ian
Hi, Harry. I'm not sure all of your items are conjunctions (strictly speaking), but this is still a great list!
