Abstract
The title of this paper is “Subordinate Conjunctions Expressing Time and Concession Used in The Winner-s Curse”. This study presents the kinds and function of conjunction expressing time and concession. This study tries to discuss and analyze about the kinds and functions of conjunction expressing time and concession with the data are taken from novel. In analyzing the conjunction expressing time and concession, I applied the theory of Murthy in his book entitled Contemporary English Grammar for Scholars and Student and theory of Quirk in his book entitled A University Grammar of English as the main theory. Besides, I applied other theories as the supporting theory. The analysis leads us to some result, namely there are five kinds of conjunction expressing time (when, before, after, until and since) and there are three kinds of conjunction expressing concession (although, though and even though). Each of these conjunctions has their own meaning. These conjunction have function to connect independent clause and dependent clause. The position of these conjunctions can appear in first of the sentence.
