Yes, it is used to represent either a choice (whether we take the first one or the second one) or a decision (whether or not we approve).
No, "whether" is not a conjunction. It is a subordinating conjunction, which means it introduces a subordinate clause that functions as the object of a verb or preposition.
No, "during" is a preposition, not a subordinate conjunction. Subordinate conjunctions are used to link dependent clauses to independent clauses in a sentence.
A subordinating conjunction begins a subordinate clause. It connects the subordinate clause to the main clause and shows the relationship between the two. Examples of subordinating conjunctions include "although," "because," and "if."
Yes, a comma is generally needed when a subordinate clause begins with a subordinate conjunction. The comma is used to separate the subordinate clause from the main clause.
"and" is not an example of a subordinate conjunction. Subordinate conjunctions introduce dependent clauses that cannot stand alone as sentences. Examples include "although," "if," and "because."
No, "fortunately" is an adverb, not a subordinate conjunction. It is used to express a positive outcome or circumstance. Subordinate conjunctions connect dependent clauses to independent clauses in a sentence.
Yes, "wherever" is a subordinate conjunction that introduces a dependent clause indicating a place or location. It is used to show a relationship between the main clause and the subordinate clause in a sentence.
No, a coordinating conjunction introduces an independent clause. Subordinate clauses are introduced by subordinating conjunctions.
"Although" is a subordinating conjunction. It is used to introduce a subordinate clause and show the relationship between the main clause and the subordinate clause.
This question is somewhat ambiguously phrased, because independent and dependent clauses are mutually exclusive categories, and a clause that is introduced by a subordinate conjunction is not independent by definition. However, substituting a coordinating conjunction in a independent clause by a subordinate conjunction can convert an initially independent clause into a dependent clause.
Although there are many subordinate conjunctions, the most common are "and", "but", and "or". A subordinate conjunction connects a subordinate clause (a clause that cannot stand alone as a sentence) to a main clause (a complete sentence).
I will do what you say since I am your subordinate. He was a private and subordinate to the captain.
