Connector Chart

COORDINATORS	PAIRED SUBORDINATORS	SUBORDINATORS	LINKING ADVERBS / TRANSITIONS
Coordinators join two words, phrases or independent clauses. They mostly occur mid-sentence with a comma placed before the conjunction.  They may also *begin a sentence. It was cold, and the wind was blowing. (different subjects) It was raining, so he opened his umbrella. He opened his umbrella, but it was blown backward. He bought a good umbrella, yet it broke in the wind.	These join equivalent sentence elements such as one noun phrase with another noun phrase. These occur as paired words.  (Also see Focusing Adverbs.) He both lost his umbrella and became wet. Neither his umbrella nor his coat kept him dry. His umbrella blew backward and so did his coat. There was more wind than he expected. The rain was as bad as the wind.	These join a dependent clause to an independent clause. They occur at the beginning of sentences with a comma separating the clause mid-sentence or they occur mid-sentence with no comma.   Though it was raining, he continued walking. He walked though it was raining. Besides being windy, it was rainy. The wind was strong besides being cold.	These join two clauses or sentences.
