Introduction to Subordinating Conjunctions

Subordinating conjunctions such as 'although', 'because', 'since', 'if', 'when', and 'while' are used to connect subordinate clauses to main clauses. These conjunctions introduce dependent clauses that provide additional information, reasons, or conditions. Proper use of subordinating conjunctions is essential for clear and grammatically correct sentences. Incorrect placement or misuse can lead to confusion or run-on sentences. It is important to recognise whether a subordinate clause is correctly joined to the main clause to ensure the sentence’s coherence and correctness.
