FANBOYS – 7 coordinating conjunctions used
for compound sentences
FANBOYS – for and nor but or yet so
FANBOYS for and nor but or
yet so mnemonic, memory
device
TRUTH
, FANBOYS not realistic, not that useful, not authentic English
In compound sentences: for nor yet
rarely used in compound sentences by English speakers
They are taught in grammar books but are not
often used by native English speakers.
Examples of for, not, and yet.
-for
Maria is going to carry her umbrella, for
it is going to rain today.
VERY UNUSUAL, sounds like a grammar book,
doesn’t sound like a real English speaker
MORE LIKELY: Maria is going to carry her
umbrella because it is going to rain. COMPLEX SENT, ADVERB CLAUSE- will
learn next week
because/since/as
-nor
Joan does not like dogs, nor does she like cats. VERY UNUSUAL, NOT AUTHENTIC ENGLISH, like a
grammar book
MORE LIKELY: Joan does not like dogs or
cats. SIMPLE
You probably studied ‘neither...nor’. We
don’t talk like that.
“either … or” – occasionally , not often
You can either get a new video game or a new
pair of sneakers for your birthday.
-yet
It is cloudy today, yet it is still warm. NOT AUTHENTIC, SOUNDS
WEIRDLY FORMAL
MORE LIKELY: It is overcast today, but
it is still warm. AUTHENTIC
VOCAB authentic – real, natural-sounding
We use ‘yet’ in simple sentences.
Are you finished yet? Have you had your
supper yet?
I didn’t do it yet.
NOT COMPOUND SENTENCES, THEY ARE SIMPLE
SENTENCES
SV , yet SV. XXX
MY ADVICE: Forget about ‘for’, ‘nor’, and
‘yet’ for compound sentences.
FANBOYS
SOBA
Forget about FANBOYS. Use SOBA. so
or but and New mnemonic
***These are the ones we use authentically: so
or but and ***
soba noodles- Japanese buckwheat noodles
When you think about compound sentences,
think about a delicious plate of yakisoba.**
Let’s focus on SOBA.
REPEAT: Some
teachers teach , FANBOYS. for and nor but or yet so
for nor
yet Not commonly used
Why learn them if
we don’t use them?
Focus on the four
coordinating conjunctions that we use all the time:
, SOBA , so
, or , but , and
EXAMPLE OF A
COMPOUND SENTENCES WITH SOBA:
It is overcast today. We will go for a walk on the beach.
-Join them together
using SOBA
It is overcast today, SOBA we will go for a walk on the beach.
LOGICAL CHOICE
It is overcast today, but we will go for a walk on the beach.
It is overcast today, so we will go for a walk on the beach. Strange
meaning- maybe you don’t like the sun
It is overcast today, or we will go for a walk on the beach. XXX
NOT A GOOD OPTION-
NO CLEAR MEANING, NO CHOICE
We will go shopping today, or we will go for a walk on the beach.
It is overcast today, and we will go for a walk on the beach.
FINE- NEUTRAL
MEANING, ADDING INFORMATION
In these choices of
SOBA, we can convey a range of meaning.
There are different
meaningd behind so, or, but, and.
It is overcast today, SOBA we will go for a walk on the beach.
It is overcast today, but we will go for a walk on the beach.
still- adverb
It is overcast today, but we will still go for a walk on the beach.

will go
for a walk on the beach.
It is overcast today, but we still will go
for a walk on the beach.

learning it.

**Adverbs can
usually be placed in different spots.
It is overcast today, and we will go for a walk on the beach.
‘but’ seems to be
the best choice
YOUR CHOICE: SOBA
** FORM FOR
COMPOUND SENTENCES:

BIG QUESTION

chocolate. SIMPLE SVV
