Is unless a conjunction?

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Specifically, "unless" is a subordinate conjunction. This means a word that connects a dependent to an independent clause.

A dependent clause is not a complete sentence, in other words, a phrase, and it doesn't make sense when it is left alone- it can't stand by itself so that is why it needs to be linked with an independent clause. Hence, the name "dependent" clause.

Example:

... after he ran track.

... when she ate.

An independent clause is a clause that can stand by itself and expresses a complete thought.

Drinking tea is very pleasant in the evening.
