Subordinating Clauses
A subordinating conjunction joins a subordinate clause to a main clause.
They are sometimes called dependent clauses because they "depend" on a main clause to give them meaning.
Example Because I cannot go to the play,
my sister is using my ticket.

Adverb clause: Before you go, sign the log book.
Noun clause: He asked if he could leave early.
Adjective clause: That is the place where he was last seen.

Example Poem (I do)
Whenever I get up,After the alarm clock
has gone off,Before the sun
comes up,As I stumble to the
shower,I slowly get ready
for my day of school.
When I arrive at school,
As I am talking to my friends,
Before classes begin,
While I do my work,I long to be back in
my cozy bed.
