GRAMMAR REVIEW: Topic: Subordinating Conjunctions (proper position in a sentence) (5-6 minutes) General Description: A subordinating conjunction, also called a subordinator, is used to connect an independent and a dependent clause together. The subordinating conjunction can go either at the beginning or in the middle of the sentence, depending on what is emphasized. Remember: Some common examples of subordinating conjunctions are after, because, if, that, though, although, until before, unless, when, where, while, etc. Examples: 1. In sentences starting with independent clauses, the dependent clause comes after the subordinating conjunction.

If the first word of a sentence is a subordinating conjunction, it is immediately followed by a dependent clause.
