	''Conjunction'' refers to two things (1) the act of linking items together and (2) the word that accomplishes such linking. In language, we can conjoin discrete elements in a sentence as long as they are constituents and are of the same syntactic category. For example, a verb can be conjoined with another verb, but not with a noun. In example (1), the sentence is ungrammatical because 'walks' is a verb whereas 'pencil' is a noun. These items are of different syntactic categories and therefore cannot be conjoined. On the other hand, when we have two verbs of the same category (example (2)), we have a perfectly grammatical sentence.
