Definition:
"A conjunction is a joiner, a word that connects (conjoins) parts of a
sentence."1
When a coordinating conjunction ( one of the FANBOYS:
for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) connects two
independent clauses, it is often (but
not always) accompanied by a comma:
The comma is always correct when used to
separate two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction.
Can but or and be used at the beginning of
a sentence?
" A sentence beginning with and or but will tend to
draw attention to itself and its transitional function. Writers should examine
such sentences with two questions in mind: (1) would the sentence and paragraph
function just as well without the initial conjunction? (2) should the sentence
in question be connected to the previous sentence? If the initial conjunction
still seems appropriate, use it."1
