What is a clause?
A clause is a group of related words that contains both a subject and a verb and is used as a sentence or as part of a sentence.
Review
A main clause can stand alone as a complete sentence because it expresses a complete thought.
Review
A subordinate clause cannot stand alone as a sentence because it does not express a complete thought.
A subordinate clause must be combined with a main clause to form a sentence.
Review
A subordinate clause DOES contain both a subject and a verb.
However, like a phrase, a subordinate clause functions as a single part of speech.
