- A conjunction is a term in English grammar that connects sentences, clauses, phrases, or words. Subordinating conjunctions are elements that form sentences into word groups known as subordinate clauses. If and whether are examples of subordinating conjunctions. As a result, their functions are identical, which can make it difficult to decide which to utilise.
Thus, answer to the above given questions will be (a) if/whether he saw her new umbrella, (b) if/whether she bought it from the mall, and (c) his father had bought it for her.
