    Subordinators are linking words that join clauses together and are used at the beginning or middle of sentences. There are two types of clauses: independent clauses that can stand alone as sentences and dependent clauses that do not make sense alone. Common subordinators include words for comparison and contrast, cause and effect, time, possibility, and place and manner such as although, though, even though, while, whereas, since, so that, because, after, when, until, whenever, before, if, as if, whether, unless, wherever, where, and how.

    Subordinators
    Subordinators are linking words that are used to join clauses together. They are used at
    the beginning or in the middle of a sentence. A clause is a group of words that must
    contain a subject and predicate. There are two types of clauses:
    independent clauses - these can stand alone as a sentence by themselves
    dependent clauses - these make no sense by themselves.
