1. I am tired, and I am hungry. (“I am tired and hungry.” “And” in this second sentence is NOT a coordinating conjunction because the subject “I” is written only one time.)

2. The book might be in the desk, or it might be in the car. (Two independent clauses or complete sentences connected by a comma and a coordinating conjunction word “or.”

3. I don’t have a book, but the professor has a book.

4. I can’t eat lunch today, for I don’t have enough money to buy lunch. (In this case, “for” means because.)

5. I didn’t like the food, yet I ate it. (“Yet” and “but” basically the same thing.)

6. I bought a car, so now I don’t have to ride the bus. (“So” means “because of that” or “for this reason.”)

7. I don’t have any money, nor do I have any food. (Notice that after the word “nor,” the sentence begins with the verb “do.” This sentence means: I don’t have any money, and I don’t have any food.”)
