Using coordinating conjunctions (F.A.N.B.O.Y.S.) to join TWO complete sentences.
When you join two sentences together with a comma and a coordinating conjunction, you form compound sentences!
For instance...
Independent Clause (IC) + comma + Coordinating Conjunction (CC) + Independent Clause (IC)

Coordinating conjunctions always come between the words or clauses that they join.
When a coordinating conjunction joins independent clauses, it is always correct to place a comma before the conjunction:

[We love going to the beach], so [we try to go every weekend!]
* 1 IC + , + CC [so] + 2IC
