Introduction to Subordinating Conjunctions

Subordinating conjunctions are words that connect a main clause with a subordinate clause, showing a relationship of time, cause, or condition. Common examples include 'because', 'although', 'since', 'if', 'while', and 'after'. These conjunctions help in creating complex sentences, which are sentences containing at least one subordinate clause. Mastery of subordinating conjunctions enhances clarity and variety in writing.
