| Subordinate Clauses are under (or less important than)
the main clause.
Subordinate clauses cannot be sentences, because they are
"dependent" clauses. |
The main clause is
the MOST important clause in the sentence. It is an
"independent" clause and that means it can stand alone as a complete sentence. |
Mrs. Which, Mrs. Who and Mrs.
That are relatives. I'm not exactly sure how they are
related, but I'm sure that they are related.
Likewise, the relative clause is related to the noun that comes
before it. |
Ho, ho, ho!
