    Coordinating Conjunctions
    You use a coordinating conjunction ("and," "but," "or," "nor," "for," "so," or "yet") to
    join individual words, phrases, and independent clauses. Note that you can also use the
    conjunctions "but" and "for" as prepositions. In the following sentences, each of the highlighted words is a coordinating conjunction:
    Lilacs and violets are usually purple.
    In this example, the coordinating conjunction "and" links two nouns. This movie is particularly interesting to feminist film theorists, for the screenplay
    was written by Mae West.
    In this example, the coordinating conjunction "for" is used to link two independent
    clauses.
    Daniel's uncle claimed that he spent most of his youth dancing on rooftops and
    swallowing goldfish.
    Here the coordinating conjunction "and" links two participle phrases ("dancing on
    rooftops" and "swallowing goldfish") which act as adverbs describing the verb "spends."
