COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS

CONJUNCTION JUNCTION “Hooking up” words and phrases and clauses Equal parts This and that Milk and butter Go to the mountains or see the see

I love New Bern High School. I like my classes. I like my teachers. I enjoy going to football games. I don’t like the crowds of people at games. I am in the band. I get into the games for free.

WHAT ARE COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS? Conjunctions join words, phrases, or clauses, and they indicated relation between the elements joined.- (Bedford Handbook) A coordinating conjunction is used to connect grammatically equal elements (words, phrases, clauses). A word that connects (conjoins) parts of a sentence.

CONNECTING WORDS, PHRASES, AND CLAUSES AND Tea Words Coffee Over the river Phrases Through the woods I like football Clauses I like game nights

WHAT IS A CLAUSE? It expresses a complete thought (basically a sentence) Is this a clause? I like candy Over the river My dog Meredith

THE COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS F- for introduces the reason for the first clause A- and joins two similar ideas together N- nor not used very often B- but joins two contrasting ideas O- or joins two alternative ideas Y- yet joins contrasting ideas (like “but”) S- so shows the second idea results from the first

AGREEMENT, DISAGREEMENT, REASON Conjunctions are used to show agreement, disagreement, or reason between two clauses. Agreement- and, nor, or The two words, phrases, or clauses are basically saying the same thing Disagreement- yet, by, or The two parts are saying something different from one another Reason- for, so One of the words, phrases, or clauses is explaining the other

WHEN TO USE COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS When you have a series of short, related sentences I like candy. I like cake. I like candy and cake. To correct a run-on sentence. I want to be a celebrity when I grow up, I am practicing sports everyday. I want to be a celebrity when I grow up, so I am practicing sports every day.

COORDINATING CONJUNCTION RULES If you are joining two independent clauses, always use a comma before the coordinating conjunction. My favorite soda is Dr. Pepper, but Anne’s is Coca- Cola. If you are joining two short phrases or two words, a comma isn't necessary. I like to eat cake and drink tea.

COORDINATING CONJUNCTION RULES The coordinating conjunction goes between ideas. Correct- I like to sleep, but I don’t like to nap. Incorrect- But I don’t like to nap, I like to sleep.

A TIP FOR YOU When combining sentences with a coordinating conjunction, remember that it is OK to combine the information. Ex. I like my classes. I like my teachers I like my classes and my teachers.

I love New Bern High School. I like my classes. I like my teachers. I enjoy going to football games. I don’t like the crowds of people at games. I am in the band. I get into the games for free.
