A sentence is a group of words that express a complete thought. You may be refering to a gerund phrase.
A subordinating conjunction usually introduces a subordinate clause, which cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it depends on an independent clause to form a full sentence. Subordinating conjunctions show the relationship between the subordinate clause and the independent clause.
"If" is a subordinating conjunction when it is placed at the beginning of a sentence. It introduces a subordinate clause in the sentence.
No, "so" is a subordinating conjunction in this sentence. It introduces the reason (subordinate clause) for clearing the table.
No, "nowhere" is not a subordinating conjunction. It is typically used as an adverb to indicate a place that is not known or specified. Subordinating conjunctions are words like "although," "because," and "if" that introduce subordinate clauses in a sentence.
An adverb clause is a subordinate clause that modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb. A conjunction that begins an adverb clause is called a subordinating conjunction. It joins the clause to the rest of the sentence.
"Is" is not a subordinating conjunction. It is a verb that functions as the main verb in a sentence. Subordinating conjunctions typically introduce a subordinate clause and show the relationship between that clause and the main clause.
In this sentence, "so" is functioning as a coordinating conjunction rather than a subordinating one, so there is no subordinate clause at all.
The subordinating conjunction in the sentence, "Before I leave on the sixth, we need to pay the bills," is the word before.
No, the word "with" is no kind of conjunction. It is a preposition, and may also be used informally as an adverb.
"Whenever" is a subordinating conjunction.
This is a subordinate clause acting as an adverbial clause because it begins with the subordinating conjunction "while" and provides information about the main action in the sentence.
However is an adverb. But it can function as a conjunctive adverb when a conjunction is replaced by a semicolon.
