What is the difference between subordinating and coordinating conjunctions?

Hello,

 

Co-ordinating conjunctions join together clauses of equal rank. When a conjunction joins two independent statements of equal importance that present in a sentence, it is known as co-ordinating conjunction.

The chief co-ordinating conjunctions are: and, but, for, or, nor, neither, also, either, etc.

Sentences on the same can be constructed on your own as they are used in our day-to-day lives.

 

Subordinating conjunctions join a clause to another on which it depends for its full meaning. When a sentence contains two statements or clauses, ones’ meaning dependant on the other, they are joined by a subordinating conjunction.

The chief subordinating conjunctions are:

After, because, if, that, though, although, as, unless, before, till, as, while, when, where.

Sentences using the same are:

-  You will pass if you work hard.

-  I missed the bus because I reached late;

-  I know not why he left us.

 

Hope this helps!

Cheers!
