A list of the categories and subcategories of the Latin conjunctions

I am learning Latin. I have bought a grammar book, which is not that great. My professor is using words like adversative conjunction, comparative, conditional, and so on. I can't find any long list over these types online. Can you help me? Here is what I have gotten till now:

Conjunctions can be separated into hypotaxis and parataxis.

  • Hypotaxis: (connecting) introducing a subordinate clause
  • Parataxis: connecting to independent clause

Subcategories:

  • Copulative/Additive
  • Adversative
  • Explicative
  • Final
  • Causal
  • Comparative
  • Conditional
  • Consecutive
  • Concessive
  • Temporal
  • Modal
  • Local
  • Disjunctive

I need help to get the whole list, what each of the terms means and in which Latin words/sentences are used.
