Conjunction


FANBOYS:

We can remember the most common conjunctions with the mnemonic 

  • For
  • And
  • Nor
  • But
  • Or
  • Yet
  • So

 

Conjunctions usually connect two phrases, so we normally find them in the middle of the sentence.

However, we can sometimes start a sentence with a conjunction.

For you, this bottleneck issue should be easier to solve.” “For me, it was too complicated.”

People often do this in conversation. After a pause, they continue, adding more information.

“I wasn’t able to resolve the timeouts issue…. So, anyway, the problem continues to be disruptive.”

In informal conversation, it doesn’t always sound like a new sentence…..Nor do people pay much attention….Or really care one way or another.
