Join the two independent clauses to make a complex sentence. Use one of the subordinating conjunctions (after, although, as, as if, because, before, even if, even though, if, if only, rather than, since, that, though, unless, until, when, where, whereas, wherever, whether, which, and while). Remember to use a comma if the subordinating conjunction comes at the beginning of the sentence. a. I stayed up all night studying for my Algebra exam. I was so tired all day today. b. Jerry and Elaine always go to movies together. They don’t go to movies together when Jerry is dating someone. c. Mad Season is a great band. They only put out one album.
