Here are some examples:

* FANBOYS: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So

* Others: Also, as well, besides, either...or, neither...nor, not only...but also

Examples:

* For she was tired, she decided to go to bed early.

* He was hungry and thirsty.

* I went to the store, but I didn't buy anything.

* You can have the cake or you can have the ice cream.

* He wasn't feeling well, so he stayed home from school.

* She was also a talented artist.

* She went to the park besides going to the store.

* She can either go to the movies or stay home.

* He was neither happy nor sad.

* He is not only a good student, but also a great athlete.

Coordinating conjunctions help to create a smoother flow in your writing by joining elements of equal grammatical rank and significance.
