In the English language is very important to know about the FANBOYS, to improve the language and the enrich ours ideas about something.

...

- Therefore

- hence

- thus

- so

- consequently

G) Continuous connectors

Continuous connectors serve to add a related event to the principal. It is also said that the English continuous connectors serve to give continuity to the main phrase, ie to fill the temporary vacuum after an event explained above

- then

- moreover / futhermore / besides

- in addition to

H) Adversary Connectors

The adverse connectors serve to counter a difficulty to the situation presented previously. These adversary connectors in English may present a specific inconvenience or a different alternative than the initial one. As with conclusive connectors, it is also necessary to pay more attention to the registry used, since some prove to be more formal than others.

- but

- however

- nonetheless / nevertheless

- yet / even so

- still

- instead

- on the contrary

I) Causal Connectors

Causal connectors are used to give a reason to a fact. In the great majority of cases the main sentence explains an event caused by the result of the secondary prayer. As with many types of connectors, causal connectors are also used according to the speech register of the speaker, so be careful not to be too formal or too vulgar...

- Because for

- because of

- since

- as

- due to / owing to

J) The comparative connectors

Serve, as the name implies, to express a degree of equality or difference between two sentences. Many of these comparative connectors are not based on only one word, but are formed by two words separated by an adverb or adjective that establish the quality of differentiation of both sentences.

- as as [...] as

- not as [...] as

- not so [...] as

- as if / as though

- tan

k) Functional connectors

Functional connectors serve to express the cause or purpose of a sentence. The main sentence expresses a situation normally carried out so that the second sentence is possible. Possibly the functional connectors are the types of connectors in English more difficult to learn, but not at all pose great difficulty.

- so

- so that

- so as to

- so as not to

- in order to

Conclusion

There are only seven coordinating conjunctions in the English language, and they are easily remembered by the acronym FANBOYS:

[pic 2]

Coordinating conjunctions signify the relationship between two independent clauses (IC), allowing the writer to specify meaning. In other words, when we construct a compound sentence using a coordinating conjunction, we ask our readers to understand that the two ideas logically relate to each other in the way in which we specify:

Logic

Coordinating Conjunctions

Addition

and

Opposition, Contrast, Concession

but, yet

Cause

for

Result or Effect

so

Choice, Option, Alternative

or, nor

In addition to signifying a specific relationship between ideas, the compound structure also tells the reader that the ideas in these clauses are valued equally: one idea is no more important than the other. I may choose to indicate contrast between ideas by using the coordinating conjunction.
