Question 1: What are Subordinating Conjunctions?

Answer:

Subordinating conjunction is a word used to combine an independent clause & a dependent

clause in a sentence. They help in forming complex sentences.

Question 2: What are the types of Subordinating Conjunctions?

Answer:

Three Different Types of Conjunctions:

1. Coordinating conjunctions
2. Correlative conjunctions
3. Subordinating conjunctions 

The subordinating conjunctions can connect an independent clause to a dependent clause

in different terms. And are categorized by meaning as,

Subordinating Conjunction of Time links a dependent clause to an independent one by

showing a time relation. That means it tells the time of the action in the main clause, and the
subordinate clause brings in the time relation. Example: after, as soon as, before, while, since, by
the time, etc.
 1. He will leave after he completes his work.
2. We will walk as soon as the teachers signal us.

Subordinating Conjunction of Place talks about where the action in the main clause takes
place. Meaning they connect the dependent clause to the independent one and establish a place
relation. Example: wherever, where, everywhere

1. You can sit and study wherever you feel like.

2. She is staying where her friends live.

Subordinating Conjunctions of Reason are the type that shows a cause-and-effect relationship
between two clauses. It tells us why an action occurred in the main clause. Example: because,
since, so that, in order that, etc.

1. Rekha couldn’t join us because her parents didn’t allow her.

2. Since she was late, the teacher was unhappy.

Subordinating Conjunctions of Manner basically tries to introduce a dependent clause that

tells in what manner the main clause takes place. Example: as, as though, like, as if, etc.

1. Esha orders me as if she is my boss.

2. They were walking like monkeys.

Subordinating Conjunctions of Condition is basically the type that tries to indicate the
condition of the occurrence of the independent clause.

Example: if, only if, assuming, provided that, etc.

1. I will get a laptop if I secure good marks.

2. The professor will treat us provided that we perform well in the exam.

Subordinating conjunctions of concession try to introduce a subordinate clause with the

intention to show that an action in the main clause happens in spite of something else, like an
obstacle or hindrance. Example: although, even though, though

1. Although he was tired, he went to the class.

2. The professor was screaming though the class was silent.

Subordinating Conjunction of Comparison links an independent clause to a dependent clause

and compares one with the other. Example: as…as, then, just as

1. Sneha is not as good as you at dancing.

2. I know him better than you do.

Question 3: How to find Subordinating Conjunctions in a sentence? 

Answer:

By placing subordinating conjunctions at the beginning of the dependent clause. In case the
dependent clause comes before the independent clause, put a comma at the end of the dependent
clause.

Question 4: Write some examples of Subordinating Conjunctions in a sentence.

Answer:

1. Because he wouldn’t wear a helmet.

2. Neha is not as good as you at singing.

Question 5: Can subordinating conjunctions start a sentence?

Answer:

Whenever the dependent clause comes first, subordinating conjunctions often start a sentence.
