I write this post in connection
with the brief of sentence structures and as I mentioned in my previous post of
List of conjunctive adverbs and their example sentences. Subordinate
conjunction, in addition to the conjunctive adverb, is the second type I want
to memo onto my blog and share with you.
For more information, the
dependent clause is the subordinate clause and the subordinate clause can be
the adverbial clause or the adjective clause or the noun clause (also known as
nominal clause). However those clauses have the different functions: the
adverbial clause functions like adverb in the sentence while the adjective
clause functions like adjective in the sentence and the noun clause functions
like noun (subject, object and complement, etc.) in the sentence.
Again, the adverbial clauses are
after the subordinate conjunctions and function like adverbs to indicate time,
condition, purpose, reason, result, contrast, place, manner and degree. Accordingly, the list of subordinate
conjunctions and their example sentences will be categorized upon their
indicating in my writing.
