I’m an English learner. Please explain me what does conjunction junction mean? I can’t understand it because it looks like bread bread just as an example. I listened the song about cars.

“Conjunction Junction” is a song created for a morning short series called “Schoolhouse Rock!”

That specific song discusses the English grammar of conjunctions, parts of speech that connect words, phrases, and clauses.

The *junction* part refers to a railway junction (if I remember the animation correctly) where two rail lines are physically connected.

Conjunction is a word that connects others. For example, “and”.

Junction, in the song, is a play on words because it rhymes with conjunction.

Conjunction junction is not a real thing in language; it’s just called a conjunction.

The phrase “conjunction junction” is a metaphor. The cartoon its from was being creative as many have said. The critical point is a conjunction is a combination of the two words. Junction is not relevant to the grammatic portion, just adds to the ability to remember what a conjunction does.
