Coordinating conjunctions 발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] Hello grammarians. Alright, today I want to start talking about conjunctions, and conjunctions are this part of speech that has a very particular function in English and what it does conjunctions unite words, phrases, and clauses.발음듣기
대기중
Let me, let me show you an example.발음듣기
대기중
So if you want to talk about two things, you could say it's a peanut butter and jelly.발음듣기
대기중
Or if I were going to paraphrase Eddie Izzard, I might offer you the choice of cake or death.발음듣기
대기중
You could also describe something as being sad but true.발음듣기
대기중
And these three are the most commonly used conjunctions.발음듣기
대기중
Because I would be remiss if I didn't mention the seminal conjunction song that got me into the grammar game in the first place, Conjunction Junction, which I think was written by Jack Sheldon or performed by Jack Sheldon in like, 1973.발음듣기
대기중
Schoolhouse Rock. It's great. Look it up.발음듣기
대기중
But what I'm going to talk about today is a pneumonic, or a memory aide, called FANBOYS.발음듣기
대기중
You may have heard this before, FANBOYS.발음듣기
대기중
And this is how we remember the coordinating conjunctions.발음듣기
대기중
And you don't need to worry about the name coordinating conjunctions, we'll get to that later.발음듣기
대기중
For now, just remember FANBOYS.발음듣기
대기중
For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So. FANBOYS.발음듣기
대기중
We'll go through how each one of these are used over the next screen. Follow me downstairs!발음듣기
대기중
So we've got For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So, and each of them have a different basic function.발음듣기
대기중
So let's, let's review them.발음듣기
대기중
For has this connotation.발음듣기
대기중
You can use it the way you'd use a word like since or because, as in...발음듣기
대기중
I do not eat buttons, for they are not food.발음듣기
대기중
You can see I'm combining these two little sentences using the word for.발음듣기
대기중
We're using this for to explain my reasoning.발음듣기
대기중
I do not eat buttons because they are not food, and for is a simpler way to express that.발음듣기
대기중
The conjunction and? Very elemental, very important conjunction combines one thing with another as in...발음듣기
대기중
The kangaroo robbed the bank and torched the saloon.발음듣기
대기중
A rather criminal kangaroo.발음듣기
대기중
And you can see we're using and to combine these two ideas.발음듣기
대기중
We're saying, this thing happened, this thing also happened, they happened together.발음듣기
대기중
Nor is similar to and, but we use it to combine untrue things.발음듣기
대기중
We use it to express negation.발음듣기
대기중
So if I were going to talk about an angry tree spirit, for example, just to pull an example out of a hat, I could say, she won't leave her tree, nor will she speak with humans.발음듣기
대기중
We use but to express exceptions, as in...발음듣기
대기중
We used every building material but chewing gum.발음듣기
대기중
Chewing gum is the exception to every building material.발음듣기
대기중
We or as a conjunction to choose between options...발음듣기
대기중
As in, would you rather have a pet bear or a pet giraffe?발음듣기
대기중
We ask the hard questions on Khan Academy.발음듣기
대기중
Yet is kind of like but, except that we use it to express unexpected things so I'm just going to write, to the contrary!발음듣기
대기중
As if I were Sherlock Holmes hollering at a confused Watson.발음듣기
대기중
And to the contrary, my good man Watson!발음듣기
대기중
This is how we use yet. I'll show you.발음듣기
대기중
I want to leave, yet I cannot.발음듣기
대기중
So it sets up this kind of push and pull dynamic in a sentence, is what yet does.발음듣기
대기중
We set the expectation, I want to leave, and yet here's the unexpected, what I'd say an ironic part, yet I cannot. I want to leave...발음듣기
대기중
But unfortunately, or but unexpectedly.발음듣기
대기중
When you would say but unexpectedly, just use yet.발음듣기
대기중
And finally, the last part of FANBOYS, so shows consequences.발음듣기
대기중
Dougal was allergic to sheep, so he skipped the wool festival.발음듣기
대기중
Right so, so we're trying to set up that as a consequence of the first clause, Dougal being allergic to sheep, the thing that follows is, because of that, he decided to skip the wool festival.발음듣기
대기중
This is FANBOYS, For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.발음듣기
대기중
These are all covered in the exercises.발음듣기
대기중
You can learn anything. David out.발음듣기
