What is a Coordinating Clause?

→ It is an independent clause that is connected to another one of equal importance, often with a conjunction such as 'and', 'but', or 'or'. For example in the sentence 'He died and she married again' there are two coordinate clauses.

What is a Subordinating Clause?

→ It is a clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it does not express a complete thought. Like all clauses, a subordinate clause has a subject and verb.
