This document discusses coordinating conjunctions, which are conjunctions that join words, phrases, or independent clauses of equal rank. The seven most common coordinating conjunctions are and, but, yet, for, so, or, and nor. These conjunctions are used to communicate addition, contrast, result/effect, reason/cause, choice, or negative choice. Less commonly used coordinating conjunctions include consequently, furthermore, however, indeed, moreover, nevertheless, then, and therefore. Examples are provided to illustrate how coordinating conjunctions join words, phrases, and independent clauses.
