FANBOYS ISSUE

Open djres88 opened this issue 10 years ago • 1 comments

It think it's more effective to introduce this point once than to keep making the small corrections.

FANBOYS refers to the coordinating conjunctions "for," "and," "nor," "but,", "or," "yet," and — most pertinent to the book — "so."

Every time you have a complete sentence that follows a FANBOYS word, it must be preceded by a comma. Here are examples:

David is tired today, so he won't be 100%. The dog looks like he got into the trash again, so we won't need to feed him tonight. Either you give me my cereal right now, or you'll be sorry come tomorrow.

Thanks :smile: My grammar sucks. I've never even heard of FANBOYS. Can you write a book on grammar? :)
