No, a coordinating conjunction introduces an independent clause. Subordinate clauses are introduced by subordinating conjunctions.
A subordinate clause-also called a dependent clause-will begin with a subordinate conjunction or a relative pronoun and will contain both a subject and a verb. This combination of words will not form a complete sentence. It will instead make a reader want additional information to finish the sentence. An example is:Although Amy sneezed all over the tuna saladAlthough= subordinate conjunction.
Yes, a conjunction can be the first word in a sentence. It is a stylistic choice and is commonly done in casual writing. Starting a sentence with a conjunction can help create a more conversational tone.
Yes, you can begin a sentence with "because." However, it is considered more formal and grammatically correct to avoid starting a sentence with a coordinating conjunction like "because." Instead, it is recommended to rephrase the sentence or use a subordinate clause.
Coordinating conjunctions join independent clauses of equal importance to form compound sentences, while subordinating conjunctions join independent clauses with dependent clauses to form complex sentences. Coordinating conjunctions include words like "and," "but," and "or," while subordinating conjunctions include words like "after," "although," and "because."

No, a coordinating conjunction introduces an independent clause. Subordinate clauses are introduced by subordinating conjunctions.
Subordinate clauses are also referred to as dependent clauses because they are not a complete sentence. These clauses begin with adverbs, nouns, or adjectives. Generally, they are the second part of a sentence, but they may also begin a sentence.

The clause begins with a relative pronoun (that) so it is an adjective clause.Adverb clauses begin with a subordinating conjunction and answer how, when, or why, as adverbs do.E.g. In the sentence "The corn that your neighbor raises", "that your neighbor raises" describes "corn" which is a noun so "that your neighbor raises" is an adjective phrase.
Coordinating conjunctions join independent clauses of equal importance to form compound sentences, while subordinating conjunctions join independent clauses with dependent clauses to form complex sentences. Coordinating conjunctions include words like "and," "but," and "or," while subordinating conjunctions include words like "after," "although," and "because."
The word until can BEGIN an adverb clause, but it is not an adverb by itself. The word until is a preposition or conjunction.

This clause comes at the beginning of the sentence and it is dependent upon the second part of the sentence. Without the second part of the sentence, it is not a complete sentence. These clauses do not make sense by themselves. Subordinate or dependent clauses begin with subordinate conjunctions. The following is a list of subordinating conjunctions grouped by purpose: Place: where, wherever, Time: when, whenever, while, before, after, until, since, as Manner: as, as if, as though Cause or reason: because, since, so that Condition: unless, if Concession: although Although it is cold outside, the students are very toasty in Mr. Fink's classroom. · Note that the subordinate clause is set apart with a comma · Note that this sentence order can also be changed. . When the clause does not come at the beginning of the sentence, no comma is required.
No, 'which' can be an adjective, and can begin an adjective clause as a relative pronoun. (e.g. California, which has the highest population of any US state, is practically bankrupt.)
It begins with a conjunction, which is used to connect clauses in a sentence. Some of these conjunctions *are* also adverbs, depending on the type of clause being connected. Some are: after, before, once, since, still.
