Examples of Coordinating conjunctions
Coordinating conjunctions
A coordinating conjunction joins parts of a sentence (for example words or independent clauses) that are grammatically equal or similar.
Examples of coordinating conjunctions
and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so
* I like and .
*, but .
Coordinating conjunctions always come between the words or clauses that they join.
When a coordinating conjunction joins independent clauses, it is always correct to place a comma before the conjunction:
* I want to work as an interpreter in the future, so I am studying Russian at university.
However, if the independent clauses are short and well-balanced, a comma is not really essential:
* She is kind so she helps people.
When "and" is used with the last word of a list, a comma is optional:
* He drinks beer, whisky, wine, and rum.
* He drinks beer, whisky, wine and rum.
