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 , so
, or , but , and
Easier
to remember: soba noodles- buckwheat noodles
yakisoba-
Japanese noodles
** FORM
FOR COMPOUND SENTENCES:
SV, SOBA SV.
