Subordinating conjunctions connect two groups of words by making
one into a subordinating clause. Acts as one
huge adverb, answering the questions “when" or “why" about the
main clause, or imposing conditions or opposition on it.

Ex: Because the night was young, Gertrude decided to take a walk. (why)

adverbial subordinating clauses in different ways:

independent clauses or two dependent clauses.
