Coordinating Conjunctions (FANBOYS)

Coordinating conjunctions connect two equal words, phrases, or clauses.

FANBOYS

There are seven coordinating conjunctions: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. A useful strategy to remember them is to memorize the acronym FANBOYS:

F A N B O Y S

o n o u r e o r d r t t

Joining Independent Clauses

An independent clause can stand by itself as a complete sentence. To join two independent clauses, writers often use a comma followed by a coordinating conjunction. The basic structure of a sentence that uses a coordinating conjunction is as follows: Subject + verb + object, [coordinating conjunction] subject + verb + object. Joining two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction creates a compound sentence. Examples: I like football, and I like hockey. The directions are complicated, but I am starting to understand them. In the first example, the coordinating conjunction is and. It separates the two independent clauses: .In the second example, the coordinating conjunction is but. It separates the two independent clauses: In both examples, there is an independent clause on both sides of the coordinating conjunction, and a comma is required before the coordinating conjunction.

Joining Words and Phrases

Coordinating conjunctions can connect two words. When just two words are connected using a coordinating conjunction, no comma is needed. Coordinating Conjunctions (FANBOYS), Summer 2013. Rev. Summer 2014. 2 of 2 Examples: My favorite foods are burritos and sushi.

I will eat either a hamburger or a hotdog.

Coordinating conjunctions can also join more than two items. In a series that lists more than two items, the coordinating conjunction precedes the final item. A comma should be placed before the coordinating conjunction. Examples: I recently bought new straps, pedals, and toe clips for my bike. Jaime wants a tablet, a sword, or a cell phone for his birthday. Coordinating conjunctions can also join phrases. When two phrases are connected using a coordinating conjunction, no comma is needed. Examples: I want to study at my university library or at the local coffee shop.

Phil was entranced by thand graceful movements.
