The subordinate ties They are those links or connectors that link a subordinate element to a main element. For example: of, for, like, because.
Unlike coordinating links, which link elements of the same hierarchy, subordinate links link a main element with another element that is subordinate and depends on it.
Prepositions, prepositional phrases and subordinate conjunctions function within the sentence as subordinate links.
Subordinate ties can introduce:
- A subordinate clause. For example: The sun came out when we were leaving. ("When" is a temporary subordinate nexus that introduces an adverbial subordinate clause)
- An indirect modifier. For example: Girlfriend from my brother is German. ("Of" is a prepositional subordinate nexus that introduces the indirect modifier "of my brother")
- A circumstantial complement. For example: We greet each other as always. ("As" is a comparative subordinate nexus that introduces the circumstantial complement "as always")
Types of subordinate ties
- Comparatives. They establish comparisons: more than, less than, just like, like, like, worse than, better than, so ... like, both ... how much.
- Conditionals. They express a condition in the face of a supposed or uncertain circumstance: provided, yes, but yes, provided, provided, except that, unless, except that, unless, in the event that.
- Causal. They indicate the cause of what is expressed in the main sentence: because, since, well, since, like, since, in view of that, because.
- In a row. They point out the consequence of what was said in the main sentence: in such a way that, such that, so much that, such that, so that, so, therefore, for it, for that, for this, therefore.
- Finals. They express the purpose of something: with a view to what, in order to, in order to, in order to, in order to, in order to, in order to.
- Of place. They express where the action is taking place: where, where, where, where, where.
- Of time or temporary. They indicate the moment in which the action occurs: before, since, hardly, after, as, while, when, every time, whenever, as, until, hardly, as long as.
- Concessional. They express a complication that does not prevent the action from being carried out: well that, although, despite the fact that, despite, so (that), however much, however much, however much, even when.
