Subordinate Clauses

A subordinate clause is also called a dependent clause. A subordinate or dependent clause has a subject and a predicate, but it does not express a complete thought. It cannot stand alone as a sentence.
Subordinate clauses can begin in several ways:

with a subordinating conjunction, such as when, since, because, after, or while
with a relative pronoun, such as who, whose, whom, which, that, or what
with a relative adverb, such as when, where, or why
