Subordinating conjunctions

The word used to link an independent clause to a dependent clause is called a subordinating conjunction. 

The most common subordinating conjunctions are although, because, before, even though, if, since, until, and when.

Why?

The role of a subordinating conjunction and the dependent clause is to establish a time, a place, a reason, a condition, a concession, or a comparison for the main clause.
