FANBOYS

If you have never heard of FANBOYS and i don't mean the film i mean the acronym this might be a useful breakdown and tool for you.

In English we typically form a sentence using the subject + verb then the object if there is one S+V+O this makes a short sentence 

This is a simple phrase with an idea and many beginners can do this. In order to link 2 ideas we can use a certain set of conjunctives ... there are many conjunctives which can make one idea longer or more detailed but only a few which can link 2 ideas that are related. 

They are called coordinating conjunctions and they can be remembered using the mnemonic FANBOYS 

FOR

NOR

BECAUSE

OR

idk why but the title made me laugh, I totally expected this thread to be about fanboys of some boy band or something :D I am a dummy

Since mnemonic has been mentioned here, I remembered my old years as a student because this has been my refuge when I had so little time to study for exam...haha...but it has helped me a lot then. Though it's not really good to use all the time.:grin:
