–It can stand alone as a sentence. Example: They shook hands.

Subordinating Conjunctions
• A subordinating conjunction can be used to join an independent clause with a dependent clause.
–When Bob and Goorp met, they shook hands.
![Page 8: Subordinating Conjunctions](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/568147b8550346895db4fdf9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
When Bob and Goorp met, they shook hands.
• When a dependent clause begins with a subordinating conjunction, it is an adverb clause.
• An adverb clause tells when, where, or the cause of the verb in the independent clause.
• In the sentence above, the dependent clause, When Bob and Goorp met, tells when they shook hands.
• The subordinating conjunction, when, begins the dependent clause.
