Coordinating Conjunctions

The short, simple conjunctions are called "coordinating conjunctions":

* and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so

A coordinating conjunction joins parts of a sentence (for example words or independent clauses) that are grammatically equal or similar. A coordinating conjunction shows that the elements it joins are similar in importance and structure:

Look at these examples

* I like [tea] and [coffee].
* [Ram likes tea], but [Anthony likes coffee].

Coordinating conjunctions always come between the words or clauses that they join.

When a coordinating conjunction joins independent clauses, it is always correct to place a comma before the conjunction:

* I want to work as an interpreter in the future, so I am studying Russian at university.

However, if the independent clauses are short and well-balanced, a comma is not really essential:

* She is kind so she helps people.

When "and" is used with the last word of a list, a comma is optional:

* He drinks beer, whisky, wine, and rum.
* He drinks beer, whisky, wine and rum.
