Here are the seven coordinating conjunctions in English, often remembered with the acronym FANBOYS:
* For
* And
* Nor
* But
* Or
* Yet
* So
Examples:
* For: I went to the store for I needed milk.
* And: The sun was shining and the birds were singing.
* Nor: He didn't go to the party, nor did she.
* But: I wanted to go, but I was too tired.
* Or: You can have the cake or the ice cream.
* Yet: He was very tired, yet he continued working.
* So: It was raining, so I stayed inside.
Remember: Coordinating conjunctions create compound sentences by joining two independent clauses (clauses that can stand alone as sentences).
