* For
* And
* Nor
* But
* Or
* Yet
* So
The conjunction because is a subordinating conjunction which doesn't work the same way. It's used to introduce a dependent clause that explains the reason for the main clause.
Example:
* Correct: I went to the store, and I bought some milk.
* Incorrect: I went to the store, because I bought some milk. (This structure makes it sound like the reason for going to the store was to buy milk, which isn't logically correct.)
Remember to always use a comma before the coordinating conjunction when joining two independent clauses.
