_For, because, such_, and
as are _cooerdinate_ conjunctions only in such a case as the following:
[She has been running, for she is out of breath].
Some of the most common conjunctions of the _subordinate_ type are those
of place and time, cause, condition, purpose, comparison, concession, and
result. _That_ introducing a subordinate clause may be called a
_substantive_ conjunction: [I knew _that_ I ought to go].
There are a number of subordinate conjunctions used in pairs which are
called _correlatives_. The principal pairs are _as ... so, as ... as, so
... as, if ... then, though ... yet_.
+80. Simple and Compound Sentences.+--In the first section of this review
the parts of a sentence were named as the _subject_ and _predicate_.
The _subject_ may itself consist of two parts joined by one of the
cooerdinating conjunctions: [Alice _and_ her cousin are here]. The
predicate may be formed in a similar fashion: [John played _and_ made
merry all day long]. Both subject and predicate may be so compounded:
[John _and_ Richard climbed the ladder _and_ jumped on the hay].
In all these cases the sentence, consisting as it does of but one subject
and one predicate, is said to be _simple_.
When two clauses--that is, two groups of words containing each a subject
and predicate--are united by a cooerdinate conjunction, the sentence is
said to be _compound_: [John wished to play Indian, _but_ Richard
preferred to play railroad].
