The document discusses three types of subordinate conjunctions - purpose, reason, and result. For purpose, conjunctions like "so as to" and "so that" are used to indicate intent. Reason conjunctions like "since," "because," and "owing to" provide an explanation or cause. Result conjunctions such as "as a result," "therefore," and "then" show consequences or effects.
