Subordinate Connectives

In this course you will learn about subordinate connectives and what they are. This course is ideal for intermediate learners.

Introduction

The words subordinating, connectives and conjunctions meaning 

Subordinating: We know that the prefix ‘sub’ means ‘under’ like a submarine, ‘sub bass’ or substitute.

If an army officer has ‘subordinates’, these are the soldiers of a lower rank who work for, or under, him or her.  Subordinates depend on his/her leadership.

Subordinate means dependent or less important.

Conjunction/Connectivess: Conjunctions and connectives mean the same thing.

Conjunctions and connectives are ‘joining’ words that can connect two halves of a sentence (clauses) together.

Examples are “and” and  “or”.
