The Coordinating Conjunctions


The English language has seven coordinating conjunctions, and they’re easy to remember if you can just remember
FANBOYS:
 For - Explains reason or purpose (just like “because”)
I go to the park every Sunday, for I love to watch the ducks on the lake.
 And - Adds one thing to another
I go to the park every Sunday to watch the ducks on the lake and the shirtless men playing soccer.
 Nor - Used to present an alternative negative idea to an already stated negative idea
I don’t go for the fresh air nor really for the ducks. Honestly, I just like the soccer.
 But - Shows contrast
The soccer in the park is entertaining in the winter, but it’s better in the heat of summer.
 Or - Presents an alternative or a choice
The men play on teams: shirts or skins.
 Yet - Introduces a contrasting idea that follows the preceding idea logically (similar to “but”)
I always take a book to read, yet I never seem to turn a single page.
 So - Indicates effect, result or consequence
I’ve started dating one of the soccer players, so now I have an excuse to watch the game each week.
Using Commas With Coordinating Conjunctions
You’ll notice that in the example sentences, some of the coordinating conjunctions are preceded by a comma while others
are not. There is a very simple reason for this.
If a coordinating conjunction is joining together two independent clauses (things that could feasibly stand alone as
complete sentences), it needs to have a comma with it.
Example: The soccer in the park is entertaining in the winter (independent clause) + it’s better in the heat of summer
(independent clause) – Because these are two independent clauses, they must be joined together by a comma and a
coordinating conjunction.
If the conjunction is connecting a phrase with two independent clauses, the two independent clauses should be separated
with the coordinating conjunction "and." If a phrase is added to a short independent clause it does not need a comma.
Example: I go to the park every Sunday (independent clause), and I watch the ducks on the lake (independent clause) and
the shirtless men playing soccer (phrase).
Some people will tell you that in a list of three or more items or phrases, you need a comma and a conjunction before the
final item or phrase. The truth is, you don’t have to use a comma there, but you can if you want to, and if you think a
comma will clear up any possible confusion, go ahead and use it. Otherwise, it’s really not necessary. The only
coordinating conjunction that doesn’t seem to be able to connect sentence fragments (words and phrases) is “for.” When
“for” comes between words or short phrases, it is typically acting not as a coordinating conjunction, but as a preposition.
Can You Begin a Sentence With a Coordinating Conjunction?
Another rule you’ll often hear is that it is incorrect to begin a sentence with a coordinating conjunction, and while this is a
good rule of thumb, it is not a hard and fast law of grammar. You should try to limit how often you begin a sentence with a
coordinating conjunction, but it is not incorrect to do so, especially if it will break up a particularly long sentence into more
easily understandable chunks. Coordinating conjunctions are the simplest of all the conjunctions to recognize and master,
and knowing how they work will improve the quality and complexity of your writing, so if that’s what you’re after, you are
now fully equipped! Happy writing!
