    Coordinating conjunctions are conjunctions that connect words, phrases, clauses, or sentences of equal rank. The seven coordinating conjunctions are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. There are three rules for using coordinating conjunctions: 1) Only two words or phrases connected by a coordinating conjunction do not require a comma. 2) When connecting more than two items with coordinating conjunctions, a comma is used after each item except the last. 3) Independent clauses connected by coordinating conjunctions require a comma before the conjunction.
