Congiunzioni coordinanti
Coordinating conjunctions are small words that connect two or more grammatically equivalent words or phrases. The connected words might be adjectives, nouns, adverbs, verbs, or even independent clauses; the important thing is that they’re equal and each one serves the same function in the sentence.
Per esempio…
| Marco e Lucia parlano francese. | Marco and Lucia speak French. | |
 E connects two people: Marco and Lucia |
||
| Volete un caffè, un tè o una cioccolata? | Do you want coffee, tea, or hot chocolate? | |
| O is joining three nouns: caffè, tè, and cioccolata |
||
| Vado a Venezia ma non ho molti soldi. | I’m going to Venice but I don’t have much money. | |
| Ma is the connection between two equal clauses: vado a Venezia and non ho molti soldi. |
