It is no kind of conjunction. The word during is a preposition.
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... Subordinate conjunctions (i.e. if, because, although, while, when, et cetera) begin subordinate clauses, at least when those subordinate clauses function as adverbs...
"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.
"Because" is a subordinating conjunction. Subordinating conjunctions are words that connect an independent clause and a dependent (subordinate) 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).
Because is not a coordinating conjunction. It is a subordinating conjunction used to introduce a subordinate clause that explains the reason for the main clause. The coordinating conjunctions are for, or, and nor, which connect words, phrases, or clauses of equal importance.
