Coordinate conjunctions, also called coordinators, are conjunctions that connect two or more identically constructed or grammatical elements that are syntactically equal in importance or rank. It is always placed in between two clauses connected. Coordinate conjunctions can join words, phrases, and clauses but it cannot join a noun and prepositional phrase. The most common coordinate conjunctions are : for (present a reason), and (presents non-contrasting item(s) or idea(s)), nor (presents non-contrasting negative idea), but (presents contrast or exception), or (presents an alternative item or idea), yet (presents contrast or exception) and so (presents a consequence). These seven coordinators can be easily remembered by the acronym "FANBOYS", with each letter representing the first letter of each coordinator.
