What to notice in the examples
Strong subordination makes the logical relationship explicit without burying the main point, and punctuation reflects clause order rather than following a simplistic rule about particular conjunction words.

- Use an introductory dependent clause when context should come first.
- Punctuate according to clause order and readability.
