What coordinating conjunctions can be used to combine two complete sentences with a comma?

The coordinating conjunctions you can use to combine two complete sentences with a comma are called the FANBOYS:

* For

* And

* Nor

* But

* Or

* Yet

* So

Example:

* For: The sun was shining, for it was a beautiful day.

* And: She went to the store, and she bought some milk.

* Nor: He didn't eat the cake, nor did he drink the soda.

* But: I wanted to go to the park, but it was raining.

* Or: You can have the pizza, or you can have the pasta.

* Yet: The team played hard, yet they lost the game.

* So: She studied all night, so she passed the exam.

Remember to always place a comma before the coordinating conjunction when joining two complete sentences.
