Subordinating

I shall come home after my work is over.

In the above sentence, the clause 'after my work is over' is a dependent clause. It is dependent on the main clause 'I will come home'. The conjunction 'after' introduces the dependent clause 'my work is over'.
Conjunctions which introduce dependent clauses are called Subordinating Conjunctions.
So, after, because, as etc are some subordinating conjunctions.
