CONJUNCTIONS: Correlative Conjunctions | Cause and Effect | A Choice or Alternative | Contrast | Addition |
Grammar Rules[edit | edit source]
The coordinating conjunctions so and therefore link a cause to its effect.
E.g.
• He had worked hard, so his success was not unexpected.
• They heard the announcement on the radio and therefore took another route to avoid the traffic jam.
Unlike coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions join an independent clause to a dependent clause.
The dependent clause cannot stand on its own and often does not make sense without the main clause.
Most subordinating conjunctions are single words, e.g. although, as, because, since, when.
• Although the journey to the disaster site was difficult, the volunteers want to continue to support the project.
• Since they refused to obey the school rules, the boys were suspended from school for a week.
• Sarah was waiting for the bus to arrive when she fell.
However, some subordinating conjunctions consist more than one word, e.g. except that, as long as, even if.
E.g.
• Even if he gives me a lift, I am not going to the funfair.
• Except for Jane, all are expected at the lunch. • She will be allowed to keep her pet as long as she looks after it well.
• Even if he gives me a lift, I am not going to the funfair.
These are some subordinating conjunctions that convey the following ideas:
- Cause : since, because, so that
- Concession and Comparison : although, as though, even though
- Condition : even if, unless
- Place : where, wherever
- Time : after, as soon as, whenever
