FANBOYS (Combining Independent Clauses)

---

Quick Tip:
Use a comma and one of the FANBOYS to connect sentences.

Longer Explanation:

• It is never okay to connect two independent clauses with only a comma (S+V, S+V).  Commas are weak!
• The easiest way to avoid this is to use FANBOYS: 
  • for
  • and
  • nor
  • but
  • or
  • yet
  • so
• Use a comma and a connecting word (S+V, and S+V).

Practice

Do this as many times as you need until you
​learn the concept.  

Feel free to split your screen on the practice exercise AND on the quiz.

You only have one chance.  Even if you do it more than once, only the first attempt will count.

Each class has its own password,
so I'll tell it to you during class.
