These elements are usually a dependent clause and an independent clause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most commonly used subordinating conjunctions are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>After, how, than, when, although, if, that, where, as, in order that, though, which, as much as, inasmuch as, unless, while, because, provided, until, who\/whom, before, since, what, whoever and whomever.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Comparison<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Condition<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>After<br>Before<br>As soon as<br>Until<br>Whenever<br>Now<br>Now that<br>When<br>Now when<br>Once<br>Till<br>While<br>As long as<\/td><td>Than<br>Rather than<br>Whether<br>Whereas<\/td><td>If<br>If only<br>Unless<br>Provided<br>Provided that<br>Supposing<br>Assuming<br>Assuming that<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Reason<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Relativity<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Opinion<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>As<br>Because<br>Since<br>Inasmuch as<br>In order to<br>In order that<br>So that<br>Why<br>Lest<\/td><td>That<br>What<br>Whatever<br>Which<br>Whichever<br>Who<br>Whoever<br>Whom<br>Whomever<br>Whose<\/td><td>Though<br>Although<br>Even though<br>As though<br>As if<br>How<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Before&nbsp;we left home, I had had my breakfast.<\/li><li>Provided&nbsp;they come, we can start class Tuesday.<\/li><li>When&nbsp;he was washing my car, I went to the store.<\/li><li>Even though&nbsp;the weather was horrible, they still went outside.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Compound Conjunction<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are conjunctions that have two or three parts. Each and every part of these does not have to be conjunctions themselves. The parts become inseparable in the sense that they tend to pop up next to one another more often and not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>We love to go skinny dipping&nbsp;<strong>as well as<\/strong>&nbsp;busking in the sun.<\/li><li>He acted&nbsp;<strong>as if<\/strong>&nbsp;it were his first time under the sun.<\/li><li>I made a deal to see them&nbsp;<strong>provided that<\/strong>&nbsp;I was assured police protection.<\/li><li>I hurried out of the room&nbsp;<strong>so that<\/strong>&nbsp;I didn\u2019t have to listen to her anymore.&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Adverbial Conjunction<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They help bring together two complete thoughts like some of the other Conjunctions while also being&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.learngrammar.net\/english-grammar\/adverb\">Adverbs<\/a>&nbsp;themselves. They are also called Conjunctive Adverbs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>List of Adverbial Conjunctions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>To compare<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>To contrast<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>To emphasize<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Similarly<br>Like<br>As<br>Likewise<\/td><td>But<br>However<br>Instead<br>Rather<br>In spite of<\/td><td>Lately<br>Since<br>Now<br>Meanwhile<br>Before<\/td><td>Undoubtedly<br>Definitely<br>Certainly<br>Of course<br>Indeed<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>To summarize<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>To exemplify<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Effect<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Sequence<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Briefly<br>Merely<br>Quickly<br>In conclusion<br>In summary<\/td><td>For example<br>For instance<br>Namely<br>Typically<br>Representatively<\/td><td>Accordingly<br>Consequently<br>Hence<br>Therefore<br>Then<\/td><td>First<br>Next<br>Finally<br>Furthermore<br>In addition<br>Moreover<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Examples:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>I was looking for a tea stall;&nbsp;<strong>additionally<\/strong>, I needed a salon for a complete makeover.<\/li><li>Tim was banking on his skills as a salesman.&nbsp;<strong>Meanwhile<\/strong>, he should have researched the clients.<\/li><li>I shouted my discomfort out,&nbsp;<strong>that is<\/strong>, I didn\u2019t like the stares I was getting.<\/li><li>Mila was on her way back home,&nbsp;<strong>therefore<\/strong>, the world she left behind her didn\u2019t bother her as much.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Punctuations with Conjunctions<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Two independent clauses in a sentence must be separated by a comma and that goes for no matter what conjunction is used. If the clauses attached by the conjunction can stand as complete sentences, a comma must be used between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>I&#8217;m doing fine, but I have my own struggles.<\/li><li>You were running the marathon, and I was cheering you on.<\/li><li>My father was unsure of the result, though he was keeping it together.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While using the Subordinating Conjunctions to attach Dependent and Independent Clauses in a sentence, there are two ways to construct these&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.learngrammar.net\/english-grammar\/sentence-definition-n-types#complex\">complex sentences<\/a>&nbsp;and one of them requires a comma separating the two clauses. The comma becomes an integral part of the sentence when the Subordinating Conjunctions are placed at the start of the sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>(Comma)<\/strong>&nbsp;If you are going for gold, I&#8217;ll come with you.<\/li><li><strong>(No comma)<\/strong>&nbsp;I&#8217;ll come with you if you are going for gold.<\/li><li><strong>(Comma)<\/strong>&nbsp;Though we are running late, we can help you install your home theatre.<\/li><li><strong>(No comma)<\/strong>&nbsp;We can help you install your home theatre though we are running late.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of Adverbial Conjunctions joining two independent clauses, the most common punctuational practice is to use a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.learngrammar.net\/english-grammar\/correct-use-of-semicolons\">semicolon<\/a>&nbsp;before It and a comma after that while the two complete thoughts are situated on either side. Some opt for two commas on both sides of the conjunction and there is another practice to separate the two clauses with a period while the capitalized conjunction starts the next sentence followed by a comma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Sam was worried about the rain; therefore, she didn\u2019t do her laundry today.<\/li><li>I was there with her 24\/7.
