Is and an article?

The word and is not an article. It’s sometimes confused with the indefinite article “an,” but it’s a different part of speech.

And is a coordinating conjunction, so you can use it between two grammatically equal words, phrases, or clauses. For example, “and” can go between two independent clauses (e.g., “George had a sandwich for lunch, and Martha had soup”).
