(This means that they connect a noun with another noun or a prepositional phrase with another prepositional phrase.)

Subordinating Conjunctions

• Subordinating conjunctions connect two ideas by making one idea dependent upon the other (so it can’t stand alone).

• The subordinating conjunction always comes before the dependent idea.

Page 20: Geschke/Grammar Unit Conjunctions & Interjections Conjunctions and Interjections

One more…..

• If the dependent idea comes before the main idea, a comma is used to separate the two.

• If the main idea comes first, no comma is used.

• Examples: after, although, as if, as long, even though, unless, wherever, whenever, because, since, while, etc.

Interjections

• An interjection is a word or group of words that expresses emotion and has no grammatical relation to other words in the sentence.

– Interjections that show strong emotion are followed by an exclamation point.

– Interjections that show mild emotion are followed by a comma.
