Lesson 84 - Parts of Speech - Conjunctions

View lesson on Daily Grammar

A conjunction is a word that joins other words, phrases (groups of words), or clauses (groups of words with a subject and verb). 

 

Subordinate conjunctions join dependent clauses (a sentence that must be attached to another clause to make sense) to independent clauses (a sentence that makes sense by itself). Some common subordinate conjunctions are after, although, as, as if, because, before, if, since, so that, than, unless, until, when, where, while.
