A subordinate clause with its conjunction is a part of the other (main) clause – for example an object or an adverbial.

Noun clauses function rather like noun phrases:I told them a lie.I told them that I knew nothing about it.Adverbial clauses function rather like adverbials:We drove home at high speed.We drove home as fast as we could.Relative clauses function rather like adjectives in noun phrases:She told me a funny story.She told me a story that made me laugh out loud.Examples of subordinating conjunctions: when, after, how, that.Some conjunctions are made up of two or more words, for example as soon as, in case.co-ordinate clausesCo-ordinate clauses have equal weight: neither is subordinate to the other.Dan cooked supper and Joe washed the dishes.The forecast was impressive but the results were disappointing.Examples of co-ordinating conjunctions: and, but, either … or.no conjunctionParticiples and infinitives can begin clauses (Section 10).
