What Is A Subordinating Conjunction

A subordinating conjunction is a word that connects a main clause to a subordinate clause.
A main clause is an independent clause that can stand alone by itself as a sentence. In
other words, a main clause does not need any additional information to operate as a
sentence. For example, the sentence "The student failed the test" is an example of a main
clause.
A subordinate clause is a dependent clause that adds some extra information to the main
clause. These phrases cannot stand by themselves, and their meaning is dependent upon
that of the independent clause. They are not sentences! For example, "because she didn't
study" is not a complete idea worthy of being defined as a sentence. However, combine the
two clauses, and we have "The student failed the test because she didn't study." A complete
idea has been expressed, and enough information has been presented in order to fully
explain the thought.

Using Subordinating Conjunctions

In English, there are lots of subordinating conjunctions, but the most common ones, along
with a few examples of how subordinating conjunctions are used, are as follows:
 after - “Your heart will break like mine, and you’ll want only me after you’ve gone” (Ella
Fitzgerald).
 although - “Although I’ve been here before, he’s just too hard to ignore” (Amy Winehouse).
 as - “As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life and realize
there’s nothing left” (Coolio).
 as long as - “I don’t care who you are, where you’re from or what you did as long as you
love me” (Backstreet Boys).
 because - “I’m everything I am because you loved me” (Celine Dion).
 before - “Just call me angel of the morning, angel. Just touch my cheek before you leave
me, baby” (Juice Newton).
 even if - “Even if the sky is falling down, you’ll be my only” (Jay Sean).
 if - “If you leave me now, you’ll take away the biggest part of me” (Peter Cetera/Chicago).
 once - “Once you pop, you can’t stop” (Pringles commercials).
 now that - “Baby, now that I’ve found you, I won’t let you go” (Tony Macaulay/John
MacLeod).
 since - “I guess I’ll never be the same since I fell for you” (B.B. King).
 though - “Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain though your dreams be
tossed and blown” (Rodgers and Hammerstein).
 unless - “We’re never going to survive unless we get a little crazy” (Seal).
 until - “[You] don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone” (Cinderella).
 when - “When I see you smile, I can face the world” (Bad English).
 where - “There’s a light burning bright, showing me the way, but I know where I’ve been”
(Scott Wittman).
 while - “I look at the world, and I notice it’s turning while my guitar gently weeps” (The
Beatles).
You’ll notice that when a dependent clause precedes an independent clause, there is a
comma between the two, indicating the beginning of the main (independent) clause.
However, when the independent clause comes first, there is no need to separate the two
clauses with a comma.
This subordinating conjunctions word list has a flashcard set for review.

Considerations
As with any grammatical device, using the subordinating conjunction too much becomes
repetitive and boring. Of course, certain types of writing require a bare-bones style without
much comedy or flavorful tone. However, subordinating conjunctions should still be used
only sparingly. Constantly using the same device does not only sound rote, but doing so
also sounds like the work of an inexperienced writer. Experienced writers know that
subordinating conjunctions, and other tools, should only be used when they are warranted.
Writing style should never be forced, as forced writing is always painfully obvious!

Subordinating Conjunctions vs. Relative Pronouns

There is another group of words that sometimes introduce dependent clauses. These are
called relative pronouns, and although they look and act very similar to coordinating
conjunctions, they are different. True relative pronouns are “that,” “who” and “which,” and
they differ from subordinating conjunctions in that they act as the subject of a dependent
clause whereas subordinating conjunctions do not. Subordinating conjunctions are followed
by the subject of their clause. Consider a few examples:
 John is the guy who came over for dinner last week. - Here, we have two clauses. “John is
the guy” is the main clause, and “who came over for dinner last week” gives us more
information about John. The word “who” acts as the subject of the dependent clause.
 We talked about music and movies while we ate. - Again, we have two clauses. “We talked
about music and movies” is the main clause, and “while we ate” gives us more information.
However, in this example, both clauses have the subject “we.” The word “while” does not act
as the subject of the dependent clause.
Now that you know what subordinating conjunctions are, you can continue to use them, but
now with new purpose and vigor!
