🔶 Subordinate clause 🔶


♦️A subordinate clause is a clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence; it merely complements a sentence's main clause, thereby adding to the whole unit of meaning. Because a subordinate clause is dependent upon a main clause to be meaningful, it is also referred to as a dependent clause.


🔖NB: For example, in the sentence “I played out until it went dark” , the phrase “until it went dark” is the subordinate clause because it requires additional information in order to make sense.

🔖NB: Subordinate clauses contain a subject noun and a verb.
