Welcome to destroy all.
Today we're going to talk about subordinating conjunctions.
Let's get started conjunctions are words that link other words phrases clauses or sentences together.
Have a look at the example over here Susan is an amazing wife and a wonderful mom.
Now the word end in this sentence is a conjunction and it's used to link two sentences together.
Susan is an amazing wife a wonderful mom.
Now there are many types of conjunctions.
And among them are subordinating conjunctions.
Now subordinating conjunctions linked to clauses and mean independent one and a subordinate dependent
one.
Have a look at the example over here.
Although Emma wanted to go together with them she declined the invitation.
Note that she declined the invitation is the independent clause.
The main one and Emma wanted to go together with them.
The seed dependent clause subordinate clause.
These two sentences are linked together with disappointing conjunction although now the most commonly
use of or needing conjunctions are although as because if since though unless while where as etc. nodes
support needing conjunctions perform two functions in a sentence they state the importance of the independent
clause and provide a transition between two ideas within a sentence.
Have a look at the example over here.
Once she stopped caring about stranger's opinion Liz became happier.
Note the Liz became happier is the main clause and she stopped caring about strangers opinions is the
support needing clause.
Now if these subordinate clause follows the mean one do not usually use a comma as in the example over
here.
My mom cries.
Main clause when ever she watches a romantic comedy subordinate clause.
Note that a comma is not used in this sentence because the subordinate clause follows the main one.
My mom cries now if these subordinate clause precedes the main one use a comma to separate the clauses.
Have a look at the example over here.
After he had completed studies George decided to travel for a year.
Main clause subordinate clause.
Now in this sentence a comma is used because to subordinate class precedes the main clause.
