Answer 1

Definition of clause

A group of words containing a subject and predicate and functioning as a member of a complex or compound sentence.

The sentence "When it rained they went inside" consists of two clauses: "When it rained" and "they went inside."

"When it rained" cannot stand alone: When it rained . .what? What happened when it rained?

Definition of subordinate clause

A clause that does not form a simple sentence by itself and that is connected to the main clause of a sentence.

In the sentence "I went home because I felt ill," "because I felt ill" is a subordinate clause.

A subordinate clause has a subject and verb, but cannot stand alone as a sentence, because it begins with a Subordinate Conjunction or a Relative Pronoun, that connects (subordinates) the clause to the main one.
