Coordinating Conjunctions
The job of a coordinating conjunction is to join two words, phrases, or independent
clauses, which are parallel in structure. There are seven coordinating conjunctions
which are by far the most common conjunctions: and, but, for, nor, or, so, yet.
Example:
o We went to the stadium and enjoyed the cricket match.
o Do you want an ice cream or chocolate?
o Go away and never come back.
Easy way to remember coordinating conjunctions.
