Last week we looked at AND, BUT, BECAUSE, OR, SO, THEN and a few more.
This week I want to move the discussion a little further by talking about grammar called ‘subordination.’ In conjunctions for ‘subordination’ we also link parts of sentences together but they work a little differently. I’ll give you some examples of conjunctions for subordination and then next week, after you’ve had a think about them, we’ll look at examples of this type of conjunction.
* place
where, wherever
* time
when, whenever, while, after, before, since, till, until, once, now
as soon as, as long as
* reason
because, as, since, for, although, though, to, in order to, so as to
* similarity and contrast
as, than, whereas, while
* condition
if, unless, provided
Hope that was helpful !
See you next week !

, the word ‘break’ had over one hundred meanings. That’s 100!! The meaning that I want to focus on today is to stop an action temporarily. We would have a break at lunch time, or stop for a break.
Are you interested in journalism? Would you like the chance to ask a BBC journalist from the UK questions about his job? What is it like to travel around the world and write exciting stories?
