Exercise 2
In the following exercise, place an appropriate subordinating conjunction in front of one of the
independent clauses in each sentence. Do not create a compound sentence with a coordinating
conjunction. In this exercise, you should select the main idea for the independent clause and create a
dependent clause for the subordinate idea. Keep in mind that when you place a subordinating conjunction
in front of an independent clause, a dependent clause is formed that may require a comma. Remember
the rules of punctuation when joining dependent clauses with independent clauses.
