Conjunctions in Spanish (conjunciones en español) can be used to connect words, phrases, express contrast or to add information. Subordinating conjunctions in Spanish (conjunciones subordinadas en español) are clauses that cannot stand alone because their meaning are dependent on each other.
Porque / Puesto que / Ya que
- You can use the conjunctions ‘porque‘, ‘puesto que‘ and ‘ya que‘ to express a reason.

I am a little worried because my son is sick.

Carl probablemente esté atrapado en el trabajo ya que aún no ha venido.
Carl is probably stuck at work since he hasn’t come yet.
Como / Con tal de que / Si / Siempre que
- Conjunctions such as ‘como‘, ‘con tal de que‘, ‘si‘ and ‘siempre que‘ can be used to express condition.
Examples:
Como no salgamos ya, vamos a perder el autobús.
If we don’t leave now, we will miss the bus.
Ustedes pueden ir a la fiesta con tal de que regresen temprano.
You can go to the party as long as you come back early.

Julian sale a correr, siempre que haga buen tiempo.

A fin de que / Para que
- The conjunctions ‘a fin de que‘ and ‘para que‘ express an aim or a purpose.
Examples:
