SUBORDINATORS

SUBORDINATORS

The difference between conjunctions in this list and FANBOYS is expressed in the words coordinating and subordinating. To coordinate is to bring things into balance or equality. To subordinate is to make less important. When we use coordinating conjunctions to combine independent clauses in a sentence, each clause is equal in importance:


UNLESS

Nothing will work UNLESS you do.

Age doesn't matter UNLESS you're a cheese.


WHILE

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, WHILE loving someone deeply gives you courage.

       **********************************************************************************************


It is a clear gain to sacrifice pleasure in order to avoid pain

More subordinating conjunctions:

by the time, how, wherever, in case, only if, whether or not (even if, no matter if)

IDIOMS (no conjunctions)

1. No matter + Wh Question + Adjective / Adverb + Clause, Main Clause

No matter what / how / where ...

- He always gets the task wrong, no matter how easy it is.

- No matter how carefully you drive, you shouldn’t drink alcohol.

- No matter what you believe, you should respect others'.

2. An alternative construction that works in a similar way is “Whatever...”

- Whatever the weather, we’ll be together. (no verb)

- Whatever it costs, we will send a man to Mars. (verb)

Subordinating Conjunctions vs. Relative Pronouns

There is another group of words that sometimes introduce dependent clauses. These are called relative pronouns, and although they look and act very similar to coordinating conjunctions, they are different. True relative pronouns are “that,” “who” and “which,” "whom", "where" and they differ from subordinating conjunctions in that they act as the subject of a dependent clause whereas subordinating conjunctions do not. Subordinating conjunctions are followed by the subject of their clause. Consider a few examples:

• John is the guy who came over for dinner last week. - Here, we have two clauses. “John is the guy” is the main clause, and “who came over for dinner last week” gives us more information about John. The word “who” acts as the subject of the dependent clause.
• We talked about music and movies while we ate. - Again, we have two clauses. “We talked about music and movies” is the main clause, and “while we ate” gives us more information. However, in this example, both clauses have the subject “we.” The word “while” does not act as the subject of the dependent clause.
