Introduction
When you make use of a variety of sentences and clauses, your writing becomes more engaging. Good writers know that changing sentence structure and length will help hold their reader's attention. Specifically, subordinating clauses add information and detail to descriptions very effectively. Employing them will also help prevent a long string of short, choppy, and uninteresting sentences. Anna Sewell's novel, Black Beauty provides classic examples of effective clauses.
