What is Subordinating Conjunction? Definition and Example Sentences
Table of Contents
In some cases, we may need to connect two sentences and say them in one sentence. In such cases, we need to use subordinate conjunctions. Subordinate clauses in English are the ones used to connect the subordinate clause to the main clause. Subordinate conjunctions establish cause-effect, purpose-effect, simultaneity, probability, or condition meaning between sentences while connecting two sentences. Subordinate clauses are always placed at the beginning of the clause. Subordinate clauses can take place before or after the main clause. In cases where the subordinate clause is at the beginning, a comma (,) sign is placed between the main clause and the subordinate clause.
We have listed 50 Subordinating Conjunctions in the list above. Now, let’s reinforce some of them by using them in a sentence.
