Question

'Had she been honest,she wouldn't have faced this humiliation'
Pickout main and subordinate clause

Answer 1

Sentence => Had she been honest,she wouldn't have faced this humilation.


Main clause => Had she been honest


Subordimate clause => She wouldn't have faced this humilation.

Answer 2

Main clauses do not need any other clause in order to make complete sense of their own while Subordinate clauses need the main clause to show reason of their existence in the statement.

Here, in the query, this statement is a multi-clause sentence. It has one main clause and one subordinate clause which relies on the central clause in order to make sense. Also, the main clauses are not necessarily placed before subordinate clauses. Same is the case here.

The main clause here is: "she wouldn't have faced this humiliation."

The subordinate clause is: "had she been honest."
