Skill 6: Use coordinate connectors correctly

When you have two clauses in an English sentence, you must connect the two clauses correctly. one way to connect two clauses is to use and, but, or, so, or yet between the clauses.

Tom is singing, and Paul is dancing.
Tom is tall, but paul is short.
Tom must writte the letter, or paul will do it.
Tom told a joke, so paul laughed.
Tom is tired, yet he is not going to sleep.

In each of these example, there are two clauses that are correctly joined with a coordinate conjunction and, but, or, so, or yet and a comma (,).
