SUBORDINATE CONJUNCTION

Definition: Probably the most common subordinate conjunction is "that" in English, que in Spanish (both words also have other uses.) In Spanish, the verb following a subordinate conjunction is often in the subjunctive mood.

A subordinate clause is a group of words containing a subject and verb that is dependent on a main clause. Commonly used subordinate conjunctions are:

on the condition that	-	a condición de que
so that, in order that	-	a fin de que
unless	-	a menos que
in spite of	-	a pesar de que
before	-	antes (de) que
both .... and	-	así .... como
even if	-	aun cuando
even, still	-	aun

so that, in such a manner as	-	de suerte que
since	-	desde que
after	-	después (de) que
where	-	donde
and	-	e
yet, however, notwithstanding	-	aun
in case	-	en caso (de) que
as soon as	-	en cuanto

Examples in Spanish:

I doubt that he loves me
Dudo que me ame.

I am writing to you so you can help me.
Te escribo para que me ayudes.
