Coordinating and Subordinating Conjunctions
Why does it matter?Slide2
Coordinate vs. Subordinate
Coordinate: “of the same order or degree; equal in rank or importance” (Dictionary.com)
Subordinate: “of less importance; secondary” (Dictionary.com)Slide3
Coordinate: “of the same order or degree; equal in rank or importance” (Dictionary.com)
A coordinating conjunction is used to connect two independent clauses – two clauses that are the same in that they can stand alone and are equally important.
I did my homework and I had football practice.Slide4
Subordinate: “of less importance; secondary” (Dictionary.com)
Subordinating conjunctions create dependent clauses – they cannot stand alone and, while they add information, they are not the primary focus of the sentence.
I did my homework even though I had football practice.Slide5
