Conjunctions
DOKE AND VAN WYK’S CONTRIBUTION
• Subordinating conjunctions join the main clause to the subordinate clause. They
are mainly used in forming complex sentences.
• Examples of subordinating conjunctions:
- uma (if/when) -ukuze (so that)
- ngenkathi (at the time when) -ukuba (so that)
- emva (after) -anduba (before)
- ukuthi (in order/so that)
