that join or coordinate two or more words, phrases, and clauses.
 The following are coordinating conjunctions.
ACRONYM: FANBOYS

F- for A- and N- nor B- but O- 0r Y- yet S- so

1. For- explains reason or purpose

Reason: I hate to waste a drop of gas, for it is very
expensive these days.

Purpose: I have to study hard, for me to pass the exam.

2. And- adds one thing to another

I like football, and I like hockey.

5. So- indicates effect, result or consequences

RULES IN USING COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS

 Coordinating conjunctions join equals to one another.
a. word to word
Example: Most students like to read novels and fiction.
b. phrase to phrase
Example: The coin is hidden at the box or at the pocket.
c. clause to clause
Example: what you say and what you do are two
different things.

 Punctuations with coordinating Conjunctions

a. When coordinating conjunctions join two words, phrases, or

subordinate clause, no comma should be placed before the
conjunction.
b. When coordinating conjunctions join three or more words,
phrases, or subordinate clauses, requires a comma between
the elements.
 Examples:
Words: peanut, cookies, and milk
Phrases: in the mountains, at the beach, or by the
lakeside
Clauses: What you do, What you say, and what you think

c. When coordinating conjunctions joining two independent

clauses and creates a compound sentence, it requires a
comma before the coordinating conjunctions.
Examples: Ryan ate all the peanuts, so Philip ate the
cookies.
