=== subordinating conjunction === | |||
* = conjunctions that "subordinate" or turn an independent clause into a subordinate clause, i.e., a sentence that cannot stand on its own | |||
* = create a need for additional information and sets up or adds to the information that follows in the dominant or main clause | |||

** "Until it wore out, the dog played with his toy every day." | |||
*** "Until it wore out" is not a complete sentence or thought | |||
