To determine which of the given sentences does not properly use a subordinating conjunction, let's first understand what a subordinating conjunction is.
A subordinating conjunction is a word or phrase that connects an independent clause (a complete sentence) with a dependent clause (an incomplete sentence), establishing the relationship between the two clauses. The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it lacks essential information.
Now, let's evaluate the sentences provided to find the one that does not properly use a subordinating conjunction:
1. Although it was raining, we still went for a walk.
2. Because it was late, I had to leave the party early.
3. I will go shopping after I finish my work.
4. The cat, who was hungry, meowed loudly.
In sentence 4, "who" is incorrectly used as a subordinating conjunction. "Who" is a relative pronoun used to introduce a relative clause, which provides additional information about the noun that precedes it. In this case, "who" is referring to the cat. A proper subordinating conjunction is missing from this sentence.
Therefore, sentence 4 does not properly use a subordinating conjunction, while sentences 1, 2, and 3 do.
