Introduction to Coordinating Conjunctions
Coordinating conjunctions are words that connect two independent clauses or words of equal importance within a sentence. The most common coordinating conjunctions are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. These conjunctions help to create compound sentences and clarify relationships between ideas. For example, in the sentence 'She wanted to go for a walk, but it started raining,' the word 'but' links two independent ideas, indicating contrast. Understanding how to properly use coordinating conjunctions is essential for clear and effective communication.
