else /othewise
Hello,
I looked up the word "else" and "otherwise" in my dictionary(Oxford advanced learner) and found only one entry that defines it as an adverb.
But many times , I have seen it is also used as a conjuction.
Are "else" and "otherwise" adverbs only or both adverbs and conjunctions?

- You are right.
- "Otherwise" and "or else" work as a kind of conjunction, though they are classed as adverbs.
- (EX) Leave home by 6:00 AM, otherwise you will miss the train.
