"[1] Most dictionaries and many traditional grammar books use the term coordinating conjunction for this group of words.
And is a coordinator used to connect elements that have an additive relationship, such as I bought apples and oranges or He worked hard and achieved success.
Or is a coordinator used to connect elements that represent alternatives or choices, such as You can have tea or coffee or We can go to the beach or stay at home.
Yet is a coordinator used to connect elements that have a contrastive relationship, often expressing unexpected results or situations, such as He is a millionaire, yet he lives in a small house.
Slash (represented by the symbol '/') is an informal coordinator used in writing to connect alternatives, similar to or.
Both coordinators and subordinators function to connect elements within a sentence, but they do so with different syntactic and semantic roles.
Furthermore, coordinators express relationships between the connected elements, while subordinators are often semantically empty or functional.
Coordinators and prepositions are both types of function words that serve to connect elements within a sentence.
Both coordinators and prepositions are used to express relationships between elements in a sentence, and they both belong to closed classes of words, meaning that their numbers are relatively fixed and new members are rarely added.
Coordinators often express logical relationships between the connected elements, such as addition, contrast, or alternatives (e.g., and, but, or).
