This video tutorial explains the difference between subordinating conjunctions and prepositions. It introduces subordinating conjunctions using the acronym 'I saw a wabub' and provides examples in sentences. The video also covers prepositions, explaining their role in indicating position, time, or movement. Some words can function as both prepositions and conjunctions, depending on their use in a sentence. The tutorial includes practice questions to help viewers identify these grammatical elements, with answers provided for self-assessment. Additional resources are available on the Twinkle website.
