Question

Which of the words in the following sentence is a coordinating conjunction?

Sandra and I like to read books.

Answer 1

Coordinating conjunctions connect units: they can connect single words, but also phrases and clauses.

Here the coordinating conjunction is "and" - it connects the words "Sandra" and "I".

"Sandra and I" in total is the subject of the sentence and the coordinating conjunction is then a part of the subject.
