Thanks!!
Is it always true for all coordinating conjunctions ?
I mean can we say that "all coordinating conjunction verbless clauses must be next to the omitted subject otherwise they need a subject and a verb" as a rule ?

Thanks!!!
So you mean if Although/though/other_coordinators come at the beginning they can be followed by a phrase or a clause but if they come at the end they ALWAYS need a clause ? Is it a rule ?
And what if they come in the middle ?
