00I found out that a person can use the phrase 'for example' as a phrase to introduce and emphasize something, but also I found out it is an conjunctive adverb and should be able to function as an adverb. As to it being a conjunction, the examples of it and details of it escape me.02br

00Are we talking about a phrase introducing or emphasizing something here or a conjunction or an adverb here? I have some good ideas but clarity is what is absent.02br

01i00... used to indicate that a verb is always used in a particular way, 01u00for example02u00 01b00only cont02b00. 02i00-- I think 'for example' is used to introduce the words in bold letters 'only cont'. Is it acting as an adverb?? I don't know. Could you help??02br

01i00When you buy a car, for example, you should drive around trying to get use to the car02i00 ... -- I think 'for exmple' here acts an adverb in a position of a parenthetical expression (if that can be said to be such)02br

01i00He needs to to more in the house, for example, taking out trash, cleaning his rooms, etc02i00. -- I think it is used as a phrase to introduce, but then is it acting as an adverb or a conjunction??? I don't know. Could you help? 0-
