50 Examples of Temporal conjunctions

Temporal conjunctions are a type of subordinating conjunction and allow us to place the main action in time. For example: While I was washing the dishes, you were watching television.

Conjunctions are terms that establish a link between sentences or words. In Spanish, there are two types of conjunctions :

• Coordinators. They link two elements of the same value.
• Subordinating clauses. They link two elements of different hierarchical value, meaning that one element depends on the other.

In addition, there are other ways to classify conjunctions based on the information they provide about the main action. Temporal conjunctions introduce the subordinate clause and provide information about the time frame in which the action takes place . For example: “When we lived together, we got along better. ” (“We got along better” is the main clause, and “When we lived together” is the subordinate clause that provides temporal information.)
