Practice coordinating conjunctions with a quiz built from your own material

Coordinating conjunctions like and, but and so are simple to name and easy to misuse, which is why a coordinating conjunctions grammar quiz helps more than rereading a rule list.

  • Ask about the seven coordinating conjunctions, for, and, nor, but, or, yet and so, using the FANBOYS pattern.
  • Check comma use before a conjunction that joins two independent clauses.
  • Practice choosing between contrast words like but and yet and cause words like so.
  • Repeat missed questions through flashcards until the choices are automatic.
Example coordinating conjunctions grammar quiz questions
Choose the best conjunction: 'The test was hard, ___ she passed it.' (and / but / so)but. It signals contrast, since a hard test would normally suggest failing, so 'but' shows the unexpected result.
What are the seven coordinating conjunctions in the FANBOYS pattern?for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. Each joins words, phrases or independent clauses of equal grammatical rank.
True or false: a comma is usually needed before a coordinating conjunction that joins two independent clauses.True. As in 'It rained, so we stayed inside,' the comma separates two complete sentences joined by the conjunction.
Correct this sentence: 'She likes tea nor coffee.''She doesn't like tea or coffee' or 'She likes neither tea nor coffee.' Nor needs a negative before it, and or fits a negative statement without one.
Which fits best: 'He studied all night, ___ he was exhausted the next morning.' (so / yet)so. Studying all night caused the exhaustion, so 'so' shows cause and result, while 'yet' would signal contrast.
