  68. A clause can come in two forms:
    A main clause, which makes sense on its own e.g. Sue bought a dress.
    A subordinate clause, which relies on the main clause for sense e.g. when she went shopping or as the sun rose over the hills. neither part would make sense without the main clause.

    Can you give me any examples of main or subordinate clauses?
