+=== 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
+** ex.: "The dog played with his toy every day until it wore out" can be phrased using a subordinating conjunction, as per:
+** "Until it wore out, the dog played with his toy every day."
+*** "Until it wore out" is not a complete sentence or thought
+* subordinating conjunctions are sometimes referred to as SWABI for
+** '''''S'''ince, '''W'''hen, '''A'''fter, '''B'''ecause & '''I'''f''
