"Bis" in German language can be used in multiple meanings. One use is to use it as a German language conjunction. This lesson of free German language course explains the meaning, use, and sentence structure of Nebensätze mit bis.
The German conjunction "bis" is used to express a time limit or end point for an action or event. Hauptsatz explains an ongoing event and Nebensatz defines the condition. Upon fulfilling this condition the ongoing event in Hauptsatz ends.
It typically translates to "until" or sometimes "by" in English, depending on the context.
When "bis" is used to introduce a subordinate clause (Nebensatz) the verb in the Nebensatz (subordinate clause) moves to the end, as with other subordinating conjunctions.
This is lessons 16 of free German language course of B1 level. There are still many other conjunctions in German language that we need to learn in the next lessons of B1 German language course.
