What are conjunctions/linking words? Or can you give an example?

You use conjonctions to match sentences together:

She booked a ticket because she had always wanted to climb the Eiffel Tower.

Conjunctions indicate the connection between the sentences:

simultaneity               as, while
consequence              so, so that, therefore
choice                           or

cause                             as, because, for, since
summary                      and
contradiction              although, however, whereas, but (even) though
