Let’s look at some sentences from

• What did you notice about the structure of each sentence?
• What did the sentences have in common?
Comma after the beginning phrase

When an AAAWWUBBIS is the first word of a sentence, you are going
to need a comma — usually.
Use a comma to set off an opener.

What if an
comes later in the sentence?

Look at this sentence from The War of the Wall…
• What is the AAAWWUBBIS? • What does the comma separate?
When we came from school, the wall was slick with white.
![Page 11: Subordinating Conjunctions. A lthough A fter A s W hile W hen U ntil B ecause B efore I f S ince is a mnemonic device to help you remember the subordinating](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f135503460f94c27e7b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What if you rewrote the sentence?
Do you need a comma in the second sentence? Why or why not?
2. The wall was slick with white when we came from school.
1. When we came from school, the wall was slick with white.

Look at this sentence from Amigo Brothers…
• What is the AAAWWUBBIS?

![Page 13: Subordinating Conjunctions. A lthough A fter A s W hile W hen U ntil B ecause B efore I f S ince is a mnemonic device to help you remember the subordinating](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f135503460f94c27e7b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How could you rewrite the sentence so that the AAAWWUBBIS is at the
beginning?
• What did you have to add to the second sentence?
2. Before the big fight, both fighters had a lot of psyching up to do.
1. Both fighters had a lot of psyching up to do before the big fight.
