Subordinating Conjunctions
On Monday, we focused on ‘coordinating conjunctions’ and today we are going to look at subordinating conjunctions!
A subordinating clause is a part of a sentence that adds additional information to the main clause. A subordinating conjunction is simply the word/words that is used to join a subordinating clause to another clause or sentence.
There are three main categories of subordinating conjunctions:
Time : after, before, as soon as, while, when, as, until
Cause : because, since, as,
Condition : if, provided that, as long as, unless
In your home learning book copy out the sentences below and add in the correct subordinating conjunction:
1. Take the cake out of the oven __________________ the timer goes off.
2. Don’t cross the road on a sharp bend ___________________ it is dangerous.
3. _________________ you put the lego bricks together check they are the right colour.
4. __________________ the kettle has boiled, pour the water into a cup.
Below, please write out two sentences which include a subordinating conjunction. One sentence should start with a conjunction and one sentence should include a conjunction in the middle of the sentence.

Although it is a great responsibility having a dog, it always gives you company.
I went to the shops because we needed to buy food.
I would love a dog!
I want to rest my head in my pillow because I am sleepy.
After doing exercise I have a shower because I am sweaty.
Well done Javier 🙂
1. If you play baseball in the house, you might break something. – The conjunction is ‘if’.
2. Be careful when putting the oven timer on because if you leave it on for to long, you could start a fire. – the conjunction was ‘because’.
Just a note: As I was sick I didn’t get an exercise book, so what I’m doing is writing all the stuff from the home learning pack onto paper, then ripping the pages out and putting them in a folder. I have labelled all of them. I am also doing the same for the blogs, but I just started doing this for the blog. So from the 27th on, I will be putting the blog answers in the folder. I’m doing this because I’m guessing if I had the exercise book, if we go back in school I would give it in. I hope you approve of this.
Hi Ethan! It is lovely to hear from you-we missed you at school 🙂 I’m so glad that you are now managing to complete your Home Learning Pack and of course it is OK to use paper. If you have any other questions, just let me know 🙂
Hi Ethan, glad you are feeling better.
I love macaroni cheese, although I have an obsession for potatoes.
I went for a walk, because I needed some exercise.

I could’ve guessed that your answer mentions technology!
