I. Recap

As discussed in another lesson, subordinating conjunctions connect a main clause to a subordinate clause. A clause is similar to a sentence in that it contains a subject and predicate. Subordinate clauses do not function independently like sentences do. This lesson focuses specifically on additional subordinating conjunctions found in German while the most frequent are discussed in a different lesson.

II. Additional Subordinating Conjunctions

Als ob

Der Verkäufer tat, als ob er mich gut kannte.
The salesman acted as if he knew me well.
