FANBOYS

Use Practice 1 & 2  to learn the concept before doing the Quiz.  
​You only get one chance on the quiz, so practice as many times as you need.

Practice 1          Practice 2
I'll post the quiz link in PowerSchool on Thursday or Friday.

Explanation:

• It is never okay to connect two independent clauses with only a comma (S+V, S+V).  
  Commas are weak!
• Instead, use a comma and a connecting word (S+V, and S+V).
• The most common connectors are the FANBOYS: 
  • for
  • and
  • nor
  • but
  • or
  • yet
  • so
• Most longer connectors (however, although, moreover, consequently, etc.) need a semicolon instead of a comma.
