What are conjunctions?

A conjunction is a word that connects two clauses, or sentences together.

'But' and 'so' are two coordinating conjunctions. We use coordinating
conjunction to connect two parts of sentences which are similar in grammatical
status. We use and for adding information, or for giving alternatives and but for
unexpected or different information

To remember coordinating conjunctions, we like to use the mnemonic,
'FANBOYS'.

In this mnemonic, each letter stands for a coordinating conjunction.

For
And

But
Or

Using and to connect phrases and sentences

When you want to say two things about a subject, use the word and to
connect the information. Sometimes and connect phrases that have the same
verb.
Example:
Mary is studying English. Mary is studying art
Mary is studying English and art
Sometimes and connects sentences that have different verbs. Use a
comma before and when it connects two sentences
