Subordinating conjunctions also join two clauses together, but in doing so,they
make one clause dependent (or "subordinate") upon the other. A subordinating
conjunction may appear at a sentence beginning or betweentwo clauses in
a sentence.
A subordinate conjunction usually provides a tighter connection
betweenclauses than a coordinating conjunctions does.
Loose:
It is raining,
so
we have an umbrella.
Tight:
Because it is raining
, we have an umbrella.

Punctuation Note:
When the dependent clause is placed first in a sentence, use a comma between
the two clauseWhen the independent clause is placed first and the dependent
clause second, do not separatetwo clauses with a comma.
