what is subordinate or main clause .. define it with example

Dear Student, 

A subordinate clause is a clause which cannot stand on its own to form a complete sentence. It requires the assistance of a main or independent clause to form a complete and meaningful sentence. Subordinating conjunctions are used to connect the main clause with the subordinate clause.

Eg: I was eating when she left.

Here, ' I was eating' is the main clause and 'when she left' is the subordinate clause. 'When' is the subordinating conjunction.

Regards,

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. ... This main clause will be independent: it can stand on its own as a complete sentence. We can all go for ice cream.
