A subordinate conjunction introduces a subordinate clause. This clause is unable to stand on its own. It requires another clause in order for it to have any meaning. That is the English word that often introduces the subordinate clause. It is similar in Spanish. Que is used to introduce the Spanish clause and is followed by a verb in the subjunctive mood.
The conditional is one of the other conjunctions. When conditions are to be met in a sentence then the conditional is the one to use. Some English conjunctives are if, since, and in case that.
