    • When to Use a Comma Before “But”

    A comma is used before “but” because it's a coordinating conjunction.Coordinating conjunctionsare the glue that holds your sentence together. In other words, they’re words that join words, phrases, and clauses into one sentence.[6]These words can be remembered with the acronym FANBOYS, which stands for for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.

    A comma is always placed in front of these words in a compound sentence that has 2 independent clauses.[7]

    • For: She bought an apple,for she wanted a snack.[8]
    • And: Nikki lives in Florida,and she goes to Disney World every weekend.
    • Nor: Will doesn’t like broccoli,nor does he like eating Brussels sprouts.
    • But: The lesson was hard,but we all managed to pass the test.
    • Or: We can order pizza,or we can go out to eat.
    • Yet: The movie has good reviews,yet my friends and I didn’t like the movie.
    • So: I broke my foot over the weekend,so I can’t take the stairs.
