A conjunction is a word that is used to describe a person, place, or thing.

An adverb is a word that modifies the object of the preposition.

Proper nouns are very often used as proper adjectives. 

The four coordinating conjunctions—and, but, or, and nor—are very commonly used. 

There are three types of conjunctions—coordinating, correlative, and subordinating. 

A subordinating conjunction introduces a subordinate, or dependent, clause and connects it to a main, or independent, clause. 

Adverbs answer questions such as “Why?” “When?” “Where?” “How?” “How much?” and “To what extent?”

Proper adjectives include words derived from proper nouns, such as Mexican, British, Canadian, and Israeli.

The three terms in regard to, with regard to, and as regards are equally correct, but be sure to remember that only the word regard, not regards, can be used in the phrases in regard to and with regard to.

Use but when a contrast is not intended to do anything with the sentence.
