|
| |
|
| === subordinating conjunctions === | | ==== conjunctions that combine sentence parts ==== |

| | ** coordinating conjunction |
| * = create a need for additional information and sets up or adds to the information that follows in the dominant or main clause
| | ** subordinating conjunction (SWABI) |
| ** ex.: "The dog played with his toy every day until it wore out" can be phrased using a subordinating conjunction, as per: | | ==== conjunctions that coordinate or conjoin ideas==== |
| ** "Until it wore out, the dog played with his toy every day."
| | ** conjunctive adverb |
| *** "Until it wore out" is not a complete sentence or thought | | * see |
| * subordinating conjunctions are sometimes referred to as SWABI for | | ** [[Parts of speech#Conjunction]] for more on conjunctions |
