A WHITE BUS conjunctions study.
Study this list of 25 subordinate conjunctions and notice how they are used. Notice that the sentences all BEGIN with the dependent clause, so they need a comma between the clauses.
Number your paper 1-25 and put your name on it.
After you go through the flash cards one time, write the sentences out with the subordinate conjunction in the middle, without the comma. Does the sentence make sense this way? Write yes or no after your ending punctuation.
Your paper is due at the end of period 7.
