Good to know:

 Coordinate Conjunctions are: FANBOYS

FOR (literary use): He listened eagerly, for she brought important news.
AND: I cooked lunch and I made a cake.
NOR: George's handshake is as good as any written contract, nor has he ever proved
untrustworthy.
BUT: His mother won’t be there, but his father might.
OR: Turn the heat down or it’ll burn.
YET: John plays basketball well, yet his favourite sport is badminton.
SO: (but not often coordinate, mostly subordinate) Jim is not the only Olympic athlete in his family,
so are his brother and his Uncle Seth. / I am sure this is her car. So she must be at home.

 Difference between Possessive and Possessive pronoun:

Possessive pronoun stands on its own, without the noun it belongs to, because it replaces that
noun (pro-noun); a possessive is a determiner before a noun.
Examples: This is my suitcase (my = possessive).
This suitcase is mine (mine = possessive pronoun).

 The same goes for Demonstrative and Demonstrative pronoun:

These suitcases are heavy (these = demonstrative).
These are heavy suitcases (these = demonstrative pronoun).
