• Subordinating Conjunctions

• 
• Subordinating conjunctions connect a clause with additional information to the main sentence.  Subordinating conjunctions always connect a dependent clause and an independent clause.

  
  

  Remember! An independent clause has a subject and a verb and can be a complete sentence.  A dependent clause can also have a subject and a verb, but it cannot be a complete sentence.

  
  

  I was late to work today because my car broke down.
  

  -I was late to work today = independent clause

  -Because my car broke down = dependent clause
