There are seven key coordinating conjunctions in English, often learned most easily with the FANBOYS acronym:

• • For (“I don’t eat peanuts for I’m allergic to nuts.”)
  • And (“The girl bought an ice-cream and a lemonade.”)
  • Nor (“Dad wanted neither the red nor the yellow shirt.”)
  • But (“John likes movies, but not scary ones.”)
  • Or (“Should Mum have the strawberry or the chocolate ice cream?”)
  • Yet (“She was scared, yet gave the speech anyway.”)
  • So (“It started to rain so I put up my umbrella.”)
