1.1.9 Conjunctions
There are two conjunction types, coordinating and subordinating.
1.1.9.2 Subordinating Conjunctions (Conjunctions of Subordination)
(i) Introduction Function
Subordinating conjunctions introduce a subordinate clause.
(ii) Simple and Compound Subordinating Conjunctions
1) Simple,
e.g. que, quand, comme, si
2) Compound forms with que
avant que (before)
après que (after, when)
pour que (so, so that, in order that)
lorsque (when, as)
puisque (since, as)
quoique (though, although)
(iii) Que-Clauses
We use the conjunction que to introduce que-clauses (or propositions complétives)
(iv) Adverbial Clauses
There are other conjunctions that we use in order to introduce an adverbial clause (circonstancielle). These adverbial clauses may be regarding time, place, aim, consequence, condition, and so forth.
Ex,
Lorsqu’il fait mauvais temps, personne one sort.
When we use a subordinating conjunction, there are different moods we might employ for the subordinate clause. Those moods are either the indicative or the subjunctive.
