What conjunctions are not one of the coordinating often used to combine clauses a compound sentence?

Here's the breakdown of conjunctions and how they relate to compound sentences:

Coordinating Conjunctions

The seven coordinating conjunctions (often remembered by the acronym FANBOYS) are:

* For

* And

* Nor

* But

* Or

* Yet

* So

Compound Sentences

A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses joined together by a coordinating conjunction. An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a complete sentence.

Conjunctions That Are NOT Coordinating

There are many conjunctions that are *not* coordinating conjunctions. Some examples include:

* Subordinating Conjunctions: These connect an independent clause to a dependent clause (a clause that cannot stand alone). Examples include *because*, *although*, *since*, *while*, *if*, *when*, etc.

* Correlative Conjunctions: These work in pairs to connect equal parts of a sentence. Examples include *both...and*, *either...or*, *neither...nor*, *not only...but also*.

Example

* Coordinating Conjunction: *The dog barked, and the cat hissed.* (Both clauses are independent)

* Subordinating Conjunction: *The dog barked because the cat hissed.* (The second clause is dependent on the first)

Key Takeaway: Coordinating conjunctions are the only type of conjunctions that can join two independent clauses to form a compound sentence.
