Subordinating Coordinating Conjunctions

Subordinating and coordinating conjunctions are important because they join clauses to form well-constructed sentences. Coordinating conjunctions like "and", "but", or "or" join independent clauses, phrases, or individual words. Subordinating conjunctions like "if", "although", or "because" introduce dependent clauses and show the relationship between the dependent and independent clauses. Examples are provided to illustrate the use of both types of conjunctions.
