So, yet, and, or, nor, for, but
Commas with conjunctions must have an independent clause (meaning, it can stand alone as a sentence) BEFORE and AFTER the conjunction and comma.
A comma and a conjunction can always be replaced with a period or semi-colon instead of the comma and conjunction.

I have my students say these words with a Russian accent to help them remember the conjunctions. Look closely and you will see they are the seven main conjunctions. Whenever you use one of these words a little bell should go off in your head: "Maybe I need a comma here." |
