Understanding Coordinating Conjunctions
Coordinating conjunctions are words that join words, phrases, or clauses of equal importance. The main coordinating conjunctions are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. They are often remembered by the acronym FANBOYS. Proper use of these conjunctions ensures clear and effective sentence structure. However, common mistakes include using the wrong conjunction or placing them incorrectly within sentences.
