Subordinating conjunctions

Subordinating conjunctions

(See also Coordinating Conjunctions)

A subordinating conjunction joins a subordinate (dependent) clause to a main (independent) clause:

Subordinating conjunctions + Subordinating conjunctions

Here are some common subordinating conjunctions:

  • after, although, as, because, before, how, if, once, since, than, that, though, till, until, when, where, whether, while

Look at this example:

main or
independent clause
subordinate or
dependent clause
Ram went swimming although it was raining.
  subordinating
conjunction
 

A subordinate or dependent clause “depends” on a main or independent clause. It cannot exist alone. Imagine that somebody says to you: “Hello! Although it was raining.” What do you understand? Nothing! But a main or independent clause can exist alone. You will understand very well if somebody says to you: “Hello! Ram went swimming.”

A subordinating conjunction always comes at the beginning of a subordinate clause. It “introduces” a subordinate clause. However, a subordinate clause can come after or before a main clause. Thus, two structures are possible:

Subordinating conjunctions + Subordinating conjunctions
Ram went swimming although it was raining.

+ Subordinating conjunctions, Subordinating conjunctions
Although it was raining, Ram went swimming.
