Coordinator = and, or, but, so, yet etc. A way to combine phrases and sentences together. Coordinating conjunctions are used to combine sentences e. g. and, so, but, yet, or. Note: when joining sentences, must but comma (,) before and so but (sometimes: or) And here is joining two nps (france and england ) e. g. i went home, and took a shower. Joining 2 clauses use comma before and e. g. i felt hungry, so i got a hotdog. Effect = got a hotdog e. g. i felt hungry, but i didn"t want a hotdog. The second coordinate also forms a constituent with the coordinator called an expanded coordinate: With the conjunction in the coordinate = expanded coordinate e. g. i went home and we ate. (this is a coordination construction)
