Subordinating & Coordinating Conjunctions
2
Importance Subordinating & coordinating conjunctions are important because they join different clauses to form long, well constructed sentences.
3
What is a clause? An independent clause is a phrase that can stand alone as it’s own sentence. The car is red. A dependent clause is a phrase that needs to have another one in order to make it a complete sentence. When the kids drove the car.
4
When to use Coordinating Conjunctions Use it to join independent clauses, phrases, and individual words. “And”, “but”, “or”, “nor”, “so”, or “yet” can be used.
5
Examples of Coordinating Conjunctions She picked daffodils and sunflowers, which are usually yellow. I wanted to go over my friends house but I had a lot of homework.
6
When to use Subordinate Conjunctions Introduces a dependent clause and shows the relationship between the dependent and independent clauses. Common conjunctions are “after”, “although”, “as”, “because”, “before”, “how”, “if” and “once”.
7
Examples of Subordinating Conjunctions If you do your homework, you can play with the dog. They lost the football game because of the bad weather.
