will go for a walk on the beach. 2 SIMPLE SENTENCES
*COMPOUND

How

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
,
FANBOYS not realistic, not authentic English
In
compound sentences: for nor yet rarely used in compound sentences by
English speakers
taught
in grammar books, but not often used
-for
Maria
is going to carry her umbrella, for it is going to rain. 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
-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
Your
probably studied ‘neither...nor’. We don’t talk like that.
-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
‘yet’
Are you finished yet? NOT A COMPOUND SENTENCE, SIMPLE SENTENCE
MY
ADVICE: Forget about ‘for’, ‘nor’, and ‘yet’ for compound sentences.
***These
are the ones we use: so or but and ***
FANBOYS
SOBA
Forget
about FANBOYS. Use SOBA. so or but and New mnemonic
Let’s
focus on SOBA.
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
Easier to remember: soba noodles- buckwheat
noodles
yakisoba- Japanese noodles
** FORM
FOR COMPOUND SENTENCES:
SV, SOBA SV.
The cat is asleep. The dog is awake. 2 simple
sentences
