It aims at exploring the most commonly used connectors belonging to each of the four types (following Halliday and Hasan's typological division, 1976), to what extent students are competent in using conjunctions, and which ones they face more difficulty with. For this, it was hypothesized that third year students master the use of conjunctions to a limited extent. In fact, seventy essays were collected and profoundly analyzed in terms of conjunctive elements' use. The results reveal that the connectors 'and', 'but', 'so', 'because' and 'to sum up' are the most widely used connectors. They also show that third year students at the University of Constantine 1, are highly competent regarding the use of conjunctions. They only experience a few difficulties with the additive 'and' as well as adversative connectors used to express concession in particular. On the basis of these results, it appears that third-year students' cohesive problems must be related to other types of cohesive devices.
