LET’S BEGIN……..
Coordinating Conjunctions
Coordinating conjunctions allow you to join words, phrases, and clauses of equal
grammatical rank in a sentence. The most common coordinating conjunctions are for, and,
nor, but, or, yet, and so; you can remember them by using the mnemonic device
FANBOYS.
I’d like pizza or a salad for lunch. We needed a place to concentrate, so we packed up our
things and went to the library. Jesse didn’t have much money, but she got by.

Subordinating Conjunctions
Subordinating conjunctions join independent and dependent clauses. A subordinating
conjunction can signal a cause-and-effect relationship, a contrast, or some other kind of
relationship between the clauses. Common subordinating conjunctions are because, since, as,
although, though, while, and whereas. Sometimes an adverb, such as until, after, or before can
function as a conjunction.
I can stay out until the clock strikes six.
