FAQ

What are the seven coordinating conjunctions and how do students remember them?

The seven coordinating conjunctions are For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So — the FANBOYS acronym helps students memorize all seven quickly and apply them in writing.

When do students use a comma with a coordinating conjunction?

A comma is placed before a coordinating conjunction when it joins two independent clauses ('She studied hard, so she passed the test'), but not when joining just words or short phrases.

How does using coordinating conjunctions improve 4th grade writing?

Coordinating conjunctions allow students to combine related ideas into compound sentences, reducing choppy writing and demonstrating more sophisticated sentence control.
