Connectives and conjunctives allow for complex sentences. That is, they combine two simple sentences into one sentence.

He is a small boy. -> He is a small boy but he is very strong. (cf. compound sentence)


This is not talking about 과 or 와 which are used to connect two nouns, rather this is conjunctions used to connect two different thoughts altogether.

As I"ve mentioned before, these are not separate words, they are 어미 (that is, verb endings) which is special verb endings tossed onto verbs. There are also noun formations which replace these when no verb is required for the sentence (as is common with subordinate clauses or prepositional phrases in English)

There are many examples in the verb ending database section of this site.

1. 고
2. 어/아서
3. the ubiquitous and simple 어/아 verb form
4. 면 makes an If sentence.
5. 으며

Advanced.

.... 나
.... 며 (this just means and)

Also, simply using the 어/아 form by itself can be a conjunctive.
