CORDINATE AND CORRELATIVE CONJUTIONS

1. Coordinate Conjutions

   • Connect words, phrases, or clauses that are independent or equal
     • Like: and, but, or, so, for, yet, and not
       • 'And' means "in addition to":
         • Example: We are going to a zoo and an aquarium on the same day.
       • 'But' connects two different things that are not in agreement:
         • Example: I am a night owl, but she is an early bird.
       • 'Or' indicates a choice between two things:
         • Example: Do you want a red one or a blue one?
       • 'So' illustrates a result of the first thing:
         • Example: This song has been very popular, so I downloaded it.
       • For' means "because":
         • Example: I want to go there again, for it was a wonderful trip.
       • 'Yet' indicates contrast with something:
         • Example: He performed very well, yet he didn't make the final cut.
