Subordinate clause - BijzinA subordinate clause, or subclause, contains at least a subject and a finite verb. The finite verb in the subclause does NOT, however, occur in the second place as in a main clause. The verb in a subclause can be found in the last or penultimate place. That is also where any other verbs may be found.
Subclauses are introduced by subordinating conjunctions. If, in other words, you use a subordinating conjunction to link two clauses, the clause following the subordinating conjunction will be the subclause. In the examples below the finite verbs are in red.
