00:00.360 --> 00:02.700
Welcome to destroy all.

00:02.730 --> 00:06.630
Today we're going to talk about subordinating conjunctions.

00:07.080 --> 00:17.690
Let's get started conjunctions are words that link other words phrases clauses or sentences together.

00:17.790 --> 00:25.610
Have a look at the example over here Susan is an amazing wife and a wonderful mom.

00:25.620 --> 00:32.880
Now the word end in this sentence is a conjunction and it's used to link two sentences together.

00:32.880 --> 00:39.090
Susan is an amazing wife a wonderful mom.

00:39.160 --> 00:41.910
Now there are many types of conjunctions.

00:41.980 --> 00:45.430
And among them are subordinating conjunctions.

00:45.430 --> 00:52.810
Now subordinating conjunctions linked to clauses and mean independent one and a subordinate dependent

00:52.840 --> 00:53.910
one.

00:53.950 --> 00:57.460
Have a look at the example over here.

00:57.460 --> 01:03.620
Although Emma wanted to go together with them she declined the invitation.

01:03.770 --> 01:09.800
Note that she declined the invitation is the independent clause.

01:09.860 --> 01:14.540
The main one and Emma wanted to go together with them.

01:14.600 --> 01:18.440
The seed dependent clause subordinate clause.

01:18.590 --> 01:26.060
These two sentences are linked together with disappointing conjunction although now the most commonly

01:26.060 --> 01:39.740
use of or needing conjunctions are although as because if since though unless while where as etc. nodes

01:39.900 --> 01:46.880
support needing conjunctions perform two functions in a sentence they state the importance of the independent

01:46.880 --> 01:53.600
clause and provide a transition between two ideas within a sentence.

01:53.630 --> 01:56.790
Have a look at the example over here.

01:56.980 --> 02:04.310
Once she stopped caring about stranger's opinion Liz became happier.

02:04.380 --> 02:14.040
Note the Liz became happier is the main clause and she stopped caring about strangers opinions is the

02:14.040 --> 02:18.550
support needing clause.

02:18.700 --> 02:27.130
Now if these subordinate clause follows the mean one do not usually use a comma as in the example over

02:27.150 --> 02:28.180
here.

02:28.330 --> 02:30.280
My mom cries.

02:30.400 --> 02:36.970
Main clause when ever she watches a romantic comedy subordinate clause.

02:36.970 --> 02:45.160
Note that a comma is not used in this sentence because the subordinate clause follows the main one.

02:45.190 --> 02:55.150
My mom cries now if these subordinate clause precedes the main one use a comma to separate the clauses.

02:55.150 --> 02:58.510
Have a look at the example over here.

02:58.510 --> 03:05.670
After he had completed studies George decided to travel for a year.

03:05.670 --> 03:08.790
Main clause subordinate clause.

03:08.850 --> 03:16.010
Now in this sentence a comma is used because to subordinate class precedes the main clause.
