The main clause is the part of the sentence that that can be justified as a sentence even after separating it from the subordinate clause i.e. it can be an independent sentence. The subordinate clause is incomplete when used independently.
- 'The old man picked up the bottle' - is the main clause 'that was lying on the ground' - is the subordinate clause.
- 'Mother was alarmed to see the front door open' - is the main clause 'when she came home' - is the subordinate clause.
- 'You can eat' - is the main clause 'whatever you like' - is the subordinate clause.
- When we were in Mumbai (is the subordinate clause), we always walked to school (is the main clause).
- 'The little girl is my niece' is the main clause 'who is singing' is the subordinate clause.
- The car belongs to my friend (is the main clause) that is at the gate (is the subordinate clause).
- The judge declared (is the main clause) that the defendant was innocent (is the subordinate clause).
- Mr. Gupta makes New Year resolutions (is the main clause) which he never keeps for more than a day (is the subordinate clause).
