This is one of the best websites I know of where you can find explanations and examples of various grammatical terms.

There are two others I like, but while I find their URLs, take a look at some in ChompChomp.

Here's another that's usually quite good.

And here's one that usually has more complete definitions and explanations.

You can look up terms alphabetically here.

Please bookmark all three websites.

Relative adverbs and subordinating conjunctions are both important elements used in sentence structures.

Relative adverbs introduce relative clauses that provide additional information about a noun or pronoun in a sentence. These adverbs include "where," "when," and "why." For example, in the sentence "I remember the day when we first met," the relative adverb "when" introduces the relative clause "when we first met," which gives more information about the noun "day."

Now, let's move on to subordinating conjunctions. These are connecting words that join two clauses, but with one clause being dependent (subordinate) on the other. Subordinating conjunctions include words like "because," "although," "if," and "since." These conjunctions indicate the relationship between the main clause and the subordinate clause. For example, in the sentence "I will go to the party if I finish my homework," the subordinating conjunction "if" connects the main clause "I will go to the party" with the subordinate clause "I finish my homework."

To fully grasp the concept and better understand how these work in sentences, it can be helpful to review examples, practice identifying them in different sentences, and study their usage rules. You can refer to reliable grammar websites or grammar books for more in-depth explanations and exercises that will enhance your understanding.
