List of the subordinate conjunctions and their example sentences

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.

List of Conjunctive Adverbs and their example sentences

After writing the sentence structures, I have had my own target to gather conjunctions altogether as many as I can with their example sentences. As we know that the conjunctions connect words, phrases and clauses together to make the communications smoothly and clearly. And this is why I would like to present the conjunctions next to the sentence structures.

There are several conjunction types : Coordinating Conjunctions, Conjunctive Adverbs, Correlative Conjunctions and Subordinate Conjunctions. But the first type of conjunctions on this post is the conjunctive adverb and you can see how many the conjunctive adverbs there are.

Brief of Sentence Structures

Several things have been done and prepared during & after the flooding. As a result, I have had the one of those to present. Hope that it would be useful as the brief to be referred to. In addition to the brief of writing, I have just added the diagram below.

The Four Standard Sentence Structures

1) Simple Sentence

1)   A sentence has only one independent clause also known as the main clause.

2)   The simple sentence can have two nouns or verbs called the compound noun or verb. The compound noun or verb is not the compound sentence.

3)   Phrases, added to the main clause, can act as the adjective to modify noun or the adverb to modify verb in the simple sentence, etc.

Simple Sentence:
