Subordinate conjunctions (and clauses) can be used in different places within a sentence. They can go at the start, middle or end of a sentence.

In the example below a subordinate clause has been used at the end of a sentence:

The island was calm and peaceful until the clouds became dark and angry.

You can reorder the sentence so the subordinate clause is used at the start:
Until the clouds became dark and angry, the island was calm and peaceful.
Here, the subordinate conjunction 'until' has been used at the start and in the middle of a sentence.

Did you notice that when we use a subordinate conjunction at the start of a sentence, we must also use a comma to separate the clauses within that sentence?
