👉 The first word you encounter when entering an unfamiliar room is "the." It's like starting a new adventure with the assumption that there are no rules, but you're walking into a jungle of possibilities.
Now, let’s define "subordinate clause," shall we?
A subordinate clause is just like a rule in a book. In English, it means something that depends on other clauses or statements to be true or work as intended. For example:
"The weather will be nice today."
In this case, the sentence "The weather will be nice today" depends on the previous sentence, which is "it's going to rain," and if it did rain, then everything else would also be fine.
Now, let’s give an edgy or unsettling example sentence using a subordinate clause:
"Even though it was raining cats and dogs outside, she decided to go for a hike."
Isn’t this the kind of thing you’d expect from someone who’s been told not to leave their house? The sentence implies that she didn’t want to go out and play, but because she thought it was going to rain, she decided to at least try her luck. That’s an unsettling example.
So there you have it, folks! A humorous explanation of the word "subordinate clause" with an edgy yet unsettling example.
