Subordinating conjunctions are used to connect two simple sentences in a special way.

The conjunctions after and before tell you when something happens.

I need to return this book before the library closes.

The conjunctions as and while tell you that two things happen at the same time.

My brother likes to listen to music while he does homework.

The conjunction until tells you how long something takes or lasts.

My mom told me to wait until she comes back.

The conjunctions because and since tell you why something happens or why something is true.

I was late to school because I forgot to set my alarm.

Since I left my phone at home, I have to borrow my brother's.

The conjunction unless shows an exception.

Unless it's cloudy tonight, we will see the full moon.

The conjunction although shows surprise or contrast.

Although she was sick, my sister still went to school.

During the time that she watched the movie, Lisa ate popcorn. The best conjunction is as. It tells you that two things happen at the same time.
