Remember, an <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">independent clause<\/span> can stand alone. For example, He is walking. This sentence can stand alone, and is an independent clause. We can join two independent clauses using a <strong>coordinating conjunction<\/strong>. For example, He is walking and he is running. The <strong>coordinating conjunction<\/strong> used was &#8220;and&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: There are seven common <strong>coordinating conjunctions<\/strong>: for, and, nor, but, yet, so. You can also remember these by using FANBOYS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Subordinating conjunctions:<\/strong> These conjunctions combine clauses and show a relationship between them. The relationships they show are cause and effect, or time and place. <strong>Subordinating conjunctions <\/strong>that we use to show cause and effect are: for, as, since, therefore, hence, as a result, consequently, though, due to, provided that, because of, unless, as a result of, so\/so that. <strong>Subordinating conjunctions<\/strong> that we use to show time or place are: once, while, when, whenever, where, wherever, before,&nbsp;after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look at the following clause: &#8220;because of the weather.&#8221; Is this a dependent or independent clause? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a dependent clause because it can not form a complete sentence on its own. Therefore, it needs to be combined with an independent clause. For example, &#8220;We can&#8217;t go outside today because of the weather.&#8221; The independent clause is &#8220;We can&#8217;t go outside today&#8221; and the <strong>subordinating conjunction<\/strong> in this sentences is &#8220;because.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following video will explain <strong>subordinating conjunctions<\/strong> in greater detail: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Subordinating conjunctions | The parts of speech | Grammar | Khan Academy\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IKrRuDWEP68?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Kahn Academy video about Subordinating Conjunctions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywritingtips.com\/coordinating-vs-subordinating-conjunctions\/\">https:\/\/www.dailywritingtips.com\/coordinating-vs-subordinating-conjunctions\/<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grammarly.com\/blog\/subordinating-conjunctions\/\">https:\/\/www.grammarly.com\/blog\/subordinating-conjunctions\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at <a href=\"mailto:checkm@dearbornschools.org\">checkm@dearbornschools.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conjunctions are words that join words, phrases, clauses, etc. We will be discussing two types conjunctions today, coordinating conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions. 1.
