Coordinating Conjunctions

 First, It is important to know what a conjunction is.

Conjunctions are words that connect sentences. They can be called connectors or connectives. In this case, we are going to write about coordinating conjunctions.

Coordinating conjunctions 

Coordinating conjunctions are usually used between words or sentences to link them, so it can be found in the middle of a sentence, not at the begging or at the end of the sentences. they are also known as FANBOYS.

There are seven coordinating conjunctions using in grammar English. They are:

                                                   For

                                                   And

                                                   Nor 

                                                   But

                                                   Or

                                                   Yet

                                                   So

Each coordinating conjunctions have a specific function when is used in a sentence.
