Examples of subordinate conjunctions are the following: since, because, when, if, after, although, until, etc. • Examples: • When I get tired, I don't function as well as I normally do.Explanation: The subordinate conjunction is "when," and it begins the dependent clause "when I get tired." • Since he left his money at home, we can't buy groceries.Explanation: The subordinate conjunction is "since," and it begins the dependent clause "since he left his money at home."
