conjunctions
Just need a quick double check on these before I hand in my homework. The exercise calls for identifying all words functioning as conjunctions. I bolded the words I believe to be the conjunctions. Thanks to those that can help!

OP here - bumping because I'm still confused as to what the two mistakes are I made regarding this exercise. As far as I can see, the only one that looks wrong is perhaps the usage of "only." Now that I look at it, I think it may be working as an adverb.
If anybody can point out my other mistakes, please let me know so I can learn from them and not make the same mistakes again!
