    Coordinating conjunctions are words like "and", "but", and "or" that are used to join two independent clauses. The acronym FANBOYS is used to remember the seven most common coordinating conjunctions: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. Each conjunction conveys a slightly different meaning when linking clauses, such as showing contrast with "but" or presenting alternatives with "or".

    CONJUNCTIONS

    Subordinating Conjunctions
    What are coordinating conjunctions?
    Coordinating conjunctions are the words we use to link ideas together
    to make a compound sentence. They always connect phrases, words
    and clauses.

    In the compound sentence below, two ideas have been combined into
    one sentence with the coordinating conjunction ‘so’.

    I am going on a bike ride, so I will


    need to wear my new helmet.
    What is FANBOYS?
    FANBOYS is an acronym used to help us remember the seven
    coordinating conjunctions used in the English language.

    It stands for:
    For
    The word ‘for’ is used to explain a reason or
    purpose. It can be used in a similar way to
    ‘because’.

    e.g. I think we will need to stay


    inside during lunch time today, for
    it is raining heavily outside.
    And
    The word ‘and’ is used to show and link
    additional ideas into one sentence.

    e.g. We are going on a holiday to


    visit my grandparents and to go
    snorkelling on the reef!
    Nor
    We can use ‘nor’ to offer an alternative negative
    idea to another negative idea.

    e.g. I would rather not have to play


    basketball, nor do I want to play
    football.
    But
    The conjunction ‘but’ is used to show contrast
    or to compare ideas.

    e.g. The ferris wheel was pretty fun,


    but the roller coaster was my
    favourite!
    Or
    We use the word ‘or’ to present a choice or
    alternative idea.

    e.g. You can finish the leftover pasta for lunch, or


    you can make a toasted sandwich..
    Yet
    The word ‘yet’ is used to link a different or
    contrasting idea to the first idea in the sentence.
    It can be used in a similar way to ‘but’.

    e.g. I always buy the large pack of


    bobby pins, yet I can never find
    one when I need it!
    So
    We use ‘so’ in compound sentences to help
    highlight a consequence or result.

    e.g. I am allergic to peanuts, so I


    need to be very careful when I eat
    out.
