Answer:
A main clause is one that can stand on its own as a complete thought. It has a main subject and a main verb.
Here are some examples of main clauses:
He did not want to know the content of the letter.
Ashley often thought about her grandparents.
Here are some examples of subordinate clauses:
Although I only started last week
That Dave had been late to school
Main clauses have a subject and verb and can stand on their own. Subordinate clauses begin with a conjunction and therefore cannot stand on their own. They leave the reader thinking “yes…and then?”
