In this fresh and fun home-schooling lesson you will learn all about subordinating conjunctions. Learn the song first to equip yourself with a great and easy mnemonic to remember eight subordinating conjunctions, then it's time to create your own clauses.
We will look at how subordinating conjunctions link and connect with a subject and a verb to create a subordinate clause, and how a subordinate clause can then join a main clause to form a complex sentence.
You will be assessed to see if you can spot the subordinating conjunctions and then the subordinate clauses.
Then it's time for the sentence 'Mic Check'. Before, we will recap on the differences between simple, compound and complex sentences, and then it's your turn to sort them in the second 'Mic Check'.
You will learn and have fun, rap along to the 'Subordinating Conjunction' song and by the end of the lesson you will always remember what a subordinating conjunction is and how it is to introduce subordinate clauses and to form complex sentences.
Topics covered include subordinating conjunctions, clauses, subordinate clauses/dependent clauses, main/independent clauses, simple sentences, compound sentences, and complex sentences.

Lyrics to rap along:
Chorus
while, if, since, how, because, only if, now that, even though
I’ve always got my wishbone...to help me with this mission.
To help me with this mission.
Go again!
while, if, since, how, because, only if, now that, even though
I’ve always got my wishbone...to help me with this mission.
To help me with this mission.
Verse
Yo, this is my song!
Subordinating conjunctions are words that like to introduce — that’s their primary function.
Connect to a subject then link them to a verb, and a subordinate clause is now ready to go to work.
Bridge
Yo, a subordinate clause is never independent.
A thought that’s incomplete will forever be dependent.
It can’t stand alone, man.
It always needs attention.
So, mix it with a main clause to make a complex sentence.
Go again!
Chorus
while, if, since, how, because, only if, now that, even though
I’ve always got my wishbone...to help me with this mission.
To help me with this mission.
Go again!
while, if, since, how, because, only if, now that, even though
I’ve always got my wishbone...to help me with this mission.
To help me with this mission.
