Question

question 3 of 10
which word in this sentence is a subordinating conjunction?
once youve finished your math homework, you can play outside until dinner.
a. until
b. once
c. finished
d. outside

Explanation:

Subordinating conjunctions connect dependent clauses to independent clauses, establishing a relationship like time or condition.

• "until" is a subordinating conjunction showing time, but in this sentence, it acts as a preposition linking to the noun "dinner".
• "Once" introduces the dependent clause "you've finished your math homework", connecting it to the independent main clause, so it functions as a subordinating conjunction.
• "finished" is a verb, not a conjunction.
• "outside" is an adverb, not a conjunction.

Answer:

B. Once
