Subordinate clause

In grammar, a subordinate clause or a dependent clause is a type of clause that adds onto an independent clause in a sentence. Subordinate clauses generally do not make sense as freestanding sentences.

Content clauses, relative clauses, and adverbial clauses are types of subordinate clauses.

Examples

• I stayed home

  unimplemented! (underline)

  {:type "underline", :contents-begin 589, :contents-end 611, :position {:start {:line 14, :column 17, :offset 588}, :end {:line 14, :column 41, :offset 612}}, :children ("because it was raining")}
  .

• I know

  unimplemented! (underline)

  {:type "underline", :contents-begin 624, :contents-end 642, :position {:start {:line 15, :column 10, :offset 623}, :end {:line 15, :column 30, :offset 643}}, :children ("Bette is a dolphin")}
