Subordinating conjunctions 從屬連接 Used to introduce a dependent clause, which is joined to form a complex sentence. Position: use a comma if the DC comes before the IC; do not use a comma if the DC comes after the IC. Examples: Although the company’s sale increased last year, its net profit declined. The company’s net profit declined last year ,although its sales increased.
3. Others Despite: it has the same meaning like although,but it follows by noun or v+ing Example: Despite increased sales, the company’s profit declined last quarter. Because: is used to express expected results. Example: I didn’t go swimming because the weather was cold.
Whereas / while While and whereas are used to show direct contrast. EX: -While I was studying, the phone rang. - San Francisco is cool during the summer, whereas Los Angeles is generally hot.
