Introduction to FANBOYS
FANBOYS is an acronym used to remember the seven coordinating conjunctions: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So. These words connect two independent clauses to form a compound sentence. For example, 'She wanted to go to the park, but it started raining.' Understanding how to use FANBOYS correctly can help improve your writing by making your sentences clearer and more varied.
