Question
Read the following sentence and find out which type of conjunction the underlined ones are.
I boarded the bus before it took off.
- Coordinating
- Subordinating
- Correlative
- None of the above
Hint:
Separate the clauses in the sentence and check their relation to each other. A subordinating conjunction can signal a cause-and-effect relationship, a contrast, or some other kind of relationship between the clauses.
The correct answer is: Subordinating
In the given sentence, the clause "it took off" is dependent on the independent clause "I boarded the bus", thus signaling a relationship between these two clauses. Therefore "before" is a subordinating conjunction and the correct answer is option b.
