Coordinating Conjunctions

FANBOYS

CCs connect words, phrases and sentences.

for and nor but or yet so

3 Remember it!!!

One important point using CCs is the equilibrium of ideas:

noun ……noun verb ……verb

adjective ……adjective

Oxford comma: In English punctuation, it is the comma placed right before the CC and or or. In other words, the last

coma in a list of things.

Example:

I invited the Olivers, my friends and relatives.

I invited the Olivers, my friends, and relatives.

Are the Olivers both my friends and relatives?

…or did I invite the Olivers, some friends and my parents? The Olivers are not necessary my friends or relatives!
