Use coordinating conjunctions

Key Notes:

🌈✨ Use Coordinating Conjunctions ✨🌈

🔑 What are Coordinating Conjunctions?

👉 Coordinating conjunctions are joining words.
They connect two words, phrases, or sentences that are of equal importance.

🧩 The FANBOYS Trick 🎉

There are 7 coordinating conjunctions. Remember them with the word FANBOYS:

• F – For ➡️ gives reason
• A – And ➡️ adds ideas
• N – Nor ➡️ shows negative choice
• B – But ➡️ shows contrast
• O – Or ➡️ shows choice
• Y – Yet ➡️ shows contrast (like “but”)
• S – So ➡️ shows result

🌟 Examples with FANBOYS 🌟

• For 📝: I stayed home, for it was raining. 🌧️
• And 📝: She likes apples and oranges. 🍎🍊
• Nor 📝: He doesn’t sing, nor does he dance. 🎤🚫💃
• But 📝: I wanted to play, but I was sick. 🤒⚽
• Or 📝: Do you want tea or coffee? ☕🍵
• Yet 📝: It was cold, yet we went swimming. 🥶🏊
• So 📝: She was hungry, so she ate a sandwich. 🥪😋

📌 Important Rules 🖊️

✅ Use a comma ( , ) before FANBOYS when joining two complete sentences.

• 👉 Example: I was tired, but I finished my homework. ✏️📚

✅ No comma needed when joining just words.

• 👉 Example: I like pizza and pasta. 🍕🍝

🎯 Quick Tip

• ✨ If you can split the sentence into two complete sentences, put a comma before FANBOYS.
• ✨ If you’re joining only words or short phrases, no comma is needed.
