what do subordinating conjunction mean?traying to find a sentence that?

Question

Trying to find a senence that contains a subordinating conjunction.

Answer 1

First, it is helpful to understand what a conjunction is. Conjunctions join words, phrases, or clauses, and they show the relationship between the two elements joined.

Coordinating conjunctions join two grammatically equal elements. These are and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet.

Here's a couple of examples of sentences using coordinating conjunctions:

I'll phone you and we can go out.
She was at fault in the accident so the police wrote her a ticket.

Notice that on either side of the conjunctions are complete clauses that are grammatically independent of each other. Both clauses are necessary to fulfill the meaning of the sentence and cannot be replaced by another word.

On the other hand, subordinating conjunctions introduce an element that behaves as if it is part of the first clause. Look at the following example:

I'll phone you when I get home.

"When I get home" is a subordinating clause ("when" is a subordinating conjunction). The whole clause acts more like an adverb modifying "I'll phone you" and we can see that by replacing it with an adverb:

I'll phone you tonight.

Sometimes subordinating conjunctions introduce clauses that act like objects:

He told me that he never really liked me.

Again, we can replace the subordinating clause with a more simple object and see that it works fine:

He told me the truth.

Therefore, "that he never really liked me" is the object of the clause "he told me." Subordinating conjunctions include after, although, as, as if, because, before, if, since, than, that, though, unless, until, when, where, whether, while

Good luck; I hope this helps.

Answer 2

A conjunction either joins two independent clauses together(coordinating) or joins one independent clause with one dependent clause (subordinating).

A subordinating conjunction introduces a dependent clause. i've forgotten the whole list but here are a few examples: after, although, as, because, if, since, when, whenever, where, wherever, whether, while, etc.
(you should memorize the list in your textbook if you're a student)

eg, my friends were overjoyed when i passed my chemistry final exam. ("when i passed my chemistry final exam" is the adverb clause. when is the subordinating conjunction.)

although i overslept, i managed to reach school on time. ("although i overslept" is the adverb clause. although is the subordinating conjunction.)

understand now?
