to connect the word and sentence. example, i will check my bag and accommodation. "and" is conjunction.

There is only one rule to remember about using subordinate conjunctions:

Subordinate conjunctions perform two functions in a sentence. First, it illustrates the importance of independent clauses. Second, it provides a transition between two ideas in the same sentence. Transitions always show the relationship of place, time, or cause and effect.

Example:
1. "When" Sherri blew out the candles on her birthday cake, she caught her hair on fire.
2. Sara starts sneezing "anytime" she opens the window to get some fresh air.
3. "When" the doorbell rings, my dog Skeeter barks loudly.

Subordinating conjunctions are conjunctions that are used at the beginning of subordinate clauses.
Some examples of these conjunctions are; although, after, before, because, how, if, once, since, so that, until, unless, when etc.

Here are examples of their use;

The main clause is a group of words in a sentence that has meaning and can stand alone without any subordinate clauses in it. In compound sentences, the core clause is the parent of the sentence.

Example:

- Uncle goes to the office when it's raining heavily.

Explanation:

Uncle goes to the office = core clause (main sentence)
During heavy rain = subordinate clause (clause)

So if we only write
uncle goes to the office
That's fine and that's the main clause

the following examples, the subordinating conjunctions are in bold for easy identification:

As Sherri blew out the candles atop her birthday cake, she caught her hair on fire.
Sara begins to sneeze whenever she opens the window to get a breath of fresh air.
When the doorbell rang, my dog Skeeter barked loudly.

Example:
1. "When" he blew out the candles on her birthday cake, she caught her hair on fire.
2. He starts sneezing "anytime" she opens the window to get some fresh air.
3. "When" the doorbell rings, my dog Skeeter barks loudly.
