Pattern 6

This document provides notes on using coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS) such as for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. It explains that a comma should be placed before coordinating conjunctions when joining two independent clauses. Both clauses must be complete sentences and related in meaning for the conjunction to correctly link them together. Examples are given of sentences joined by the conjunctions "yet" and "for".
