SENTENCES

It is overcast today. JOIN We will go for a walk on the beach.
How do you join them
together?
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
-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
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
‘yet’ Are you
finished yet? Have you had your supper, yet?
NOT A COMPOUND
SENTENCE, SIMPLE SENTENCE
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: so or but and ***
** When you think
about compound sentences, think about a delicious plate of yakisoba.**
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
