Conjunction Junction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AyjKgz9tKg

Coordinating Conjunctions And, but, for, nor, or, so, and yet—these are the seven coordinating conjunctions. To remember all seven, remember: FANBOYS Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses. Use a coordinating conjunction when you want to give equal emphasis to two main clauses. The pattern for coordination looks like this: Main Clause + Coordinating Conjunction + Main Clause Example: The fall leaves were bright and beautiful See, it combines “The fall leaves were bright” and “the fall leaves were beautiful” into one

Subordinate Conjunctions Some sentences are complex. Such sentences have two clauses, one main [or independent] and one subordinate [or dependent]. The subordinate conjunction has two jobs. First, it provides a necessary transition between the two ideas in the sentence. This transition will indicate a time, place, or cause and effect relationship. Example: My dog begins eating her dinner after I begin eating mine. My dog eats dinner > I eat dinner The second job of the subordinate conjunction is to reduce the importance of one clause so that a reader understands which of the two ideas is more important. The more important idea belongs in the main clause, the less important in the clause introduced by the subordinate conjunction. Example: As Samson blew out the birthday candles atop the cake, he burned the tip of his nose on a stubborn flame. Burning his nose > Blowing out the candles
