Getting Started

What is a conjunction?

A conjunction links two or more words, phrases or clauses together.

There are two main types of conjunctions we use within sentences.

Do you know what they both are?

• co-ordinating conjunctions (e.g. and) link two main clauses together as an equal pair to create a compound sentence. We usually remember these words using the acronym ‘FANBOYS’.

• subordinating conjunctions (e.g. when) introduce a subordinate clause. You can remember some of the most useful

subordinating conjunctions by...

…spotting one of the rarest monsters on the planet, a wabub, and shouting...

I SAW A WABUB!

…is an acronym to help you remember the first letters of some of the most important subordinating conjunctions.

I Saw a Wabub…

While After Before Until Because

So, how do we use subordinating conjunctions?

Next Steps

Subordinating conjunctions are the first words within a subordinate clause. Subordinate clauses do not make sense on

their own but, when they are used with a main clause, they create a complex (multi-clause) sentence.

Subordinate clauses will always have a subject and verb within them, e.g.

after she smiled after Christmas

is a subordinate clause is not a subordinate clause

Here ‘after’ is being used as a preposition.

Can you spot the subordinate clause and the subordinating conjunction in this sentence?

When the bell rang, the eager pupils sped into school.

Subordinating conjunctions can also be used as the first word in a sentence. When the subordinate clause comes before the

main clause, make sure you remember to use a comma to mark where the subordinate clause ends.

Can you swap these sentences around so that the subordinate clause comes before the main clause?

Don’t forget your commas!

As they are mammals, whales give birth to live young.

hopeless rugby team lost the game.

Can you spot the subordinating conjunctions in this piece of text? Where have they been used in these sentences?

As he walked closer, Cleo could see the crocodilius in the cave entrance.

The beast was hurriedly eating the remains of its last unlucky victim

because it was ravenous. Cleo examined its bright red eyes, huge

smoking nostrils and razor-sharp teeth while the beast was occupied.

Although Cleo was standing quite a distance away, the terrible stench of

the gruesome beast was still making him feel nauseous. Cleo took a deep

breath before he tiptoed bravely forward. It was time for battle.
