FANBOYS Practice

This worksheet introduces students to the FANBOYS conjunctions (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So). It tasks them with completing compound sentences using these coordinating conjunctions, ensuring each sentence flows logically. Students apply each conjunction once to complete sentences such as, “I like cats, _______ I also like dogs.” This reinforces their ability to identify which conjunction best fits each sentence’s context.

Working with FANBOYS conjunctions helps students master compound sentence construction and improves their understanding of the relationships between independent clauses. This worksheet boosts grammar knowledge and encourages students to develop coherent writing skills by linking ideas effectively. It also promotes critical thinking, as learners must select the correct conjunction based on sentence meaning. This kind of targeted practice strengthens both writing precision and reading comprehension.
