All coordinating conjunctions require a comma with them, not just but and so. The coordinating conjunctions are For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So. They are used to join two or more independent clauses.

What coordinating conjunctions can be used to combine two complete sentences with a comma?

The most remembered coordinating conjunctions are and, but, and or. You can use these words to combine two full thoughts that could be separate sentences on their own, like so:"I went to the store. I saw my friend there" becomes "I went to the store, and I saw my friend there."If both sentences could not stand on their own, no comma is used."I went to the store. Saw my friend there" is technically improper grammar, so the sentence becomes "I went to the store and saw my friend there."Other coordinating conjunctions are for, nor, yet, and so. Together, all of the words spell out the acronym FANBOYS.


Should you use a comma before but?

No, you don't use or put a comma before 'but' instead place it after it (but). Why? Simply because the word 'but' itself' acts as a comma, you pause when you get there. Never stop or pause the sentence until you get to the word itself as it acts out as a comma, even though there are some times where you can get a comma after it.
