Coordinating Conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so):  \no Put a comma before these conjunctions. Example: The movie has already started, but my friend has not arrived yet.  \n2. Correlative Conjunctions (These have two parts: either . . . or):  \no Put a comma before the second part if it connects 2 clauses (complete sentences) . Example: Eric is not only an outstanding teacher, but he is also a gourmet cook.  \no You don't need a comma if it only connects words or phrases.  \nExample: Eric is not only an outstanding teacher but also a gourmet cook.  \n3. Transitional Words and Phrases:  \no Put a comma after these if they are at the beginning of a sentence.  \nExample: I like to travel. Specifically, I enjoy places with old cathedrals.  \no Use a semicolon to connect the two sentences.  \nExample: I like to travel; specifically, I enjoy places with old cathedrals.  \no Use a comma before and after the transitional word/phrase in the middle of a clause. Example: I like to travel, and, specifically, I enjoy places with old cathedrals.","cbCairVjbOu7lFFW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairVjbOu7lFFW","pdf",339524,"English","# Transition Words and Phrases\n## Adding Information\n## Showing a Result\n## Giving Examples\n## Establishing Time Relation or Sequence\n## Showing a Contrast\n## Showing a Condition\n## Showing a Concession\n## Explaining or Emphasizing\n## Showing Similarity\n## Giving an Alternative\n# Punctuation Rules\n## Coordinating Conjunctions\n## Correlative Conjunctions\n## Transitional Words and Phrases","[{\"question\":\"How can I show adding information with English transition words?\",\"answer\":\"Use connectors such as \\\"not only...but also,\\\" \\\"moreover,\\\" \\\"furthermore,\\\" \\\"in addition,\\\" or \\\"also.\\\" They help expand ideas in a structured way.\"},{\"question\":\"Which punctuation rules apply to coordinating conjunctions like but and or?\",\"answer\":\"Put a comma before coordinating conjunctions when they join clauses.
