Answer 2

1. The subordinate clause = It was unfortunate and the main clause = you were absent.

2. The subordinate clause = He admitted and the main clause =  he wrote a letter.

• The main clause consists of a subject and a verb.
• The main clause can stand independently in a sentence.
• The main clause can convey the meaning of a sentence without the help of another clause.
• It is not connected to the subordinate clause.
• Subordinate clauses always start with conjunction and they cannot stand independently as they do not convey appropriate meaning to the sentence.
• Subordinate clauses are always connected to the main clause.
