Each of the coordinating conjunctions has two
purposes, to connect information and to show a
certain relationship between two or more things.
Notice that when we connect two independent
clauses with a coordinating conjunction we use a
comma before the conjunction.
When we connect two clauses with a
coordinating conjunction, this is called a
compound sentence.

4. Example- but
I ate a cake, but I didn't like it.
But shows us a relationship of
something we don't expect or
direct contrast as in the
example, it's hot outside, but
it's cold inside.

5. Example – or
Or, I go to the playground, or I
go to the pool.
Or shows us that we have an
option, and we can only
choose one option, not both.
So if I go to the playground, I
can't go to the pool, or vice
versa.

6. Example- so
So shows us cause and effect.
I didn't eat dinner, so now I’m
starving.
The second action occurred as
the result of the first action.

7. Example- yet
She's only 5, yet she can do laundry,
yet shows us contrast in spite or something.
It is similar to saying but still, but anyway, or nevertheless.
Yet, as a conjunction is not related to time.
she's only six but she can still do calculus. There's often an
element of something that we don't expect when we use yet.
Oftentimes we could use but to mean the same thing, and it is
more common to use yet in writing than in speaking.

8. Example- for
I was happy it was Friday, for I had had a
tiring week
It shows cause and effect.
Notice the difference between for and so.
I had had a tiring week, so I was happy it was
Friday.
When we use for, the result comes first.
When we use so, the cause comes first, but
they express the same relationship.

9. Example- nor
I don't drink tea nor do I drink coke.
Nor is used with two negative clauses.
Now, we can combine these sentences
with nor because they're both negative.
You must remember to change it into
question form.
I haven't gone to LA, nor will I go to LA.
