DefinitionSubordination is a grammatical device that involves the relationship between two or more clauses or sentences. It occurs when one clause or sentence is made subordinate to another, usually by the use of a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun. Subordination is a way of connecting one idea to another to show their logical or causal relationship.Types of SubordinationThere are two main types of subordination: adjective clauses and adverb clauses.Adjective ClausesAdjective clauses are used to modify a noun or pronoun and are introduced by relative pronouns like "which," "who," "whom," or "whose." For example:I like the book which my friend recommended. (Adjective clause modifying the noun "book")She is the teacher who we respect. (Adjective clause modifying the noun "teacher")Adverb ClausesAdverb clauses are used to modify a verb, adjective, or adverb and are introduced by subordinating conjunctions like "because," "although," "before," or "after." For example:He succeeded because he worked hard. (Adverb clause modifying the verb "succeeded")Although it was rainingwe still went out for a walk. (Adverb clause modifying the verb "went")Functions of SubordinationSubordination serves several functions in language use. It can:Add InformationBy making one clause subordinate to another, we can add more information to our main idea. For example, in the sentence "I like the book which my friend recommended," the subordinate clause "which my friend recommended" adds more information about the bookEmphasize ImportanceSubordination can be used to emphasize the importance of one clause or sentence over another. For example, in the sentence "Although he is rich, he is not happy," the main idea is emphasized by placing it after the subordinate clauseShow Causal RelationshipsSubordination can show causal relationships between events or ideas. For example, in the sentence "Because she was late, she missed the train," the subordinate clause "because she was late" explains why she missed the trainShow Time SequenceSubordination can show the sequence of events or ideas by placing one clause before or after another. For example, in the sentence "After he finished his homework, he went to bed," the subordinate clause "after he finished his homework" shows the order of eventsProvide Additional DetailsSubordination can provide additional details or examples to support the main idea. For example, in the sentence "She likes to read books, which are set in Paris," the subordinate clause "which are set in Paris" provides additional information about the books she likes to read
