Connectors/Conjuctions

We've learnt new connectors today.

Connectors which help us to show quality, to compare and to show time/sequence.

Do you still remember/recall any of these?

I've found a cute you-tube on "and/or/but".We've learnt in term one.

Connectors are also conjuctions.
What is the use of connectors? Clauses?

What we have learnt today:

Subordinating conjunctions, (subordinators) are most important in creating subordinating clauses. These adverbs that act like conjunctions are placed at the front of the clause. The adverbial clause can come either before or after the main clause. Subordinators are usually a single word, but there are also a number of multi-word subordinators that function like a single subordinating conjunction. They can be classified according to their use in regard to time, cause and effect, opposition, or condition. Remember, put a comma at the end of the adverbial phrase when it precedes the main clause.
