GRAMMAR REVIEW: Topic: Misplaced Subordinating Conjunctions (5-6 minutes) ( 間違って置かれた従属接続詞 ) When a sentence needs further elaboration or description, we can add supporting details by adding a dependent clause to the main clause. The conjunction used at the beginning of the dependent clause is called a Subordinating Conjunction. ( 詳しい表現をするために従属節を主節に加えることによって詳細を加えますその際従属節の初めにくるのが従属接続詞です ) The most common subordinating conjunctions are "after," "although," "as," "because," "before," "how," "if," "once," "since," "than," "that," "though," "until," "when," "where," "whether," and "while." ( 一般的な従属接続詞は次の通りです "after ~ した後で," "although~ だけれども," "as ~ のように," "because ~ という理由で," "before ~ する前に," "how どのようにして," "if もし ~ ならば," "once ~ するとすぐに," "since ~ して以来," "than ~ に比べて," "that ~ ということ,""though ~ にもかかわらず," "until ~ する時まで," "when ~ するときに,""where ~ する所に," "whether ~ かどうか," "while ~ の間ずっと ") Misplaced ( 誤り ): Jenny visited London last spring, where her grandparents live.. Correct ( 正しい文 ): Jenny visited London, where her grandparents live, last spring.. ( ジェニーは昨年の春に彼女の祖父母の住むロンドンを訪れた ) Main Clause: Jenny visited London last spring. ( 主節 : ジェニーは去年の春にロンドンを訪れた ) Dependent Clause: where her grandparents live ( 従属節 : 彼女の祖父母の住む所に ) Subordinating Conjunction: Where ( 従属接続詞 :~ する所に ) Page 3

4 Remember ( ポイント ): Always put the subordinating conjunction and clause near the word or phrase they modify. ( 従属接続詞と節は修飾する語句の近くにくるようにする ) When the conjuctions used are while, whenever, when, wherever, after, although, since, and until put them at the beginning of the sentence. ( 接続詞の {while ~の間ずっと, whenever いつ~しようとも,when ~するときに, wherever どこへ~しても, after ~した後で, although~だけれども, since ~ して以来, until ~する時まで } は文の先頭にくるようにする ) Examples ( 例 ): How to spot misplaced subordinating conjunctions: ( 従属接続詞の誤った位置 ) Wrong: Midori works for an airline company, who earned her pilot s license last year. Correct: Midori, who earned her pilot s license last year, works for an airline company. ( 誤 ) ( 正 : 昨年操縦士の資格を取得したミドリは航空会社で勤務している ) Wrong: Their summer vacation ends after they have to go to school. Correct: After their summer vacation ends, they have to go to school. ( 誤 ) ( 正 : 夏休みが終わったら彼らは学校に行かなければなりません ) Comprehension Check: Check if the sentence is wrong or right, if wrong give the correct form of the sentence. When I was working like a dog, my boss was sleeping like a log. Page 4
