What Are Coordinating Conjunctions?
Coordinating conjunctions are words that connect words, phrases, or clauses of equal importance in a sentence.
Main Coordinating Conjunctions
We have three main coordinating conjunctions in English:
And
We use and when we want to add a word to another word. For example:
She is beautiful. She is kind. = She is beautiful
I called Hanna. I called Tommy = I called Hanna
Or
We use or to name two or more choices. For example:
Are you sad? Are you angry? = Are you sad
Do you like pizza? Do you like pasta = Do you like pizza
But
We use but between two words or sentences to show contrast. For example:
She is beautiful
I love fruits
