Soal Conjunction
Pengertian Subordinate Conjunction
Subordinate conjunction adalah conjunction (kata hubung) yang berada di awal suatu subordinate clause yang disebut adverbial clause yang berfungsi membangun hubungan ide antara subordinate clause tersebut dengan main clause (berupa independent clause). Main clause dan adverbial clause membentuk complex sentence.

sangat membantu…
trims????
sama-sama Fyn..senang bisa membantumu ^^
Firstly I want to ask, is it same subordinate clause and dependent clause? because I heard an explanation about subordinate conjunction from another source, that said subordinate conjunction usually used after an independent clause first, then following by a subordinate conjunction to link a dependent clause in a complex sentence, but when I saw the examples above many of them were placed in the beginning of the sentences. Can I infer that all the sentences from the examples above that preceded by a subordinate conjunction, they were the subordinate clauses (dependent clause) as same as the explanation that has given above?
secondly, correct my comment ha..ha….
Third, You are the best.
Hello 😀
Subordinate clause is another term for dependent clause, Alam.
In a complex sentence containing adverbial clause, subordinate conjunction is always in front of a independent clause. That’s make the clause become “dependent” (It can’t stand alone anymore).
dependent clause = subordinate conjuction + independent clause
complex sentence = dependent clause + independent clause
Thanks for your kind words..I wish you all the best 🙂
