  Coordinating Conjunctions FANBOYS (For, And,Nor, But, Or, Yet, So)  Can be used to connect two complete words or groups of words with similar values  When used to connect two sentences, a comma always comes before the conjunction! For example, in each of the following sentences the coordinating conjunction “and" connects equal words or groups of words: Connects two words: Milea and Rina stayed up all night practicing their guitars. Connects two phrases: The squirrel scurried up the tree trunk and onto a low branch. Connects two clauses: Several managers sat with their backs to us, and I could almost hear them snickering at us lowly workers.

  Subordinating Conjunctions  Usedto connect clauses  A subordinating conjunction causes the clause that it appears in to become dependent. In other words, it will be a sentence fragment unless it is joined to an independent clause.  The subordinating clause acts as one huge adverb, answering the questions “when" or “why" about the main clause, or imposing conditions or opposition on it.  Can be found in the beginning or middle of a sentence

  Examples… After Although AsAs If As Long As Because Before Even If Even Though If Once Provided Since So That That Though Till Unless Until What When Whenever Wherever Whether While Note: The subordinating conjunction does not always come between the two clauses it connects. Often, it comes at the beginning of the first clause.
