A subordinating conjunction is a type of conjunction that connects a dependent clause to an independent clause in a sentence. It introduces a subordinate clause, which cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on the main clause for its meaning. Subordinating conjunctions indicate the relationship between the two clauses, such as cause and effect, time, condition, contrast, or purpose. Examples of subordinating conjunctions include "because," "although," "while," "if," "since," "unless," "before," and "after."
