There are so many subordinating conjunctions! You will learn how to use them in sentences. Are you ready to read some examples? Great!
You will look at examples of different subordinating conjunction being used in sentences. The subordinating conjunction in each sentence will be bold. Read all the sentences aloud to your parent or teacher:
Did you read all the examples aloud to your parent or teacher? If so, great work! If not, go back and read the examples.
As you could see, all of the examples included a comma (,). Whenever you see a comma, you should do a brief pause while reading aloud.
Most subordinating conjunctions have a comma that breaks up the two sentences. For example, "As soon as I wake up in the morning, I go out for a run."
Whenever you start a sentence with a conjunction, there will be a comma between two thoughts. There are two sentences: "As soon as I wake up" and "I go out for a run." The conjunction and the comma work together to squish the two sentences together.
Not all subordinate conjunctions require a comma. Some sentences can be put together with just a subordinating conjunction without a comma. For example, "I have more cookies than Ryan does."
Are you comfortable with the many examples of subordinating conjunctions being used in sentences? If so, move on to the Got It? section, where you will practice using subordinating conjunctions by playing a game.
