It is asking you to identify the subordinate clause.
Let's practise
Underline the subordinate clause in the sentence below.
You can hear owls if you go into the woods at night.
- Read the question carefully and read it again. What is it asking you to do?
Show me
- Check the first part of the sentence, You can hear owls.
Show me
This makes sense on its own so it is the main clause.
- Check the second part of the sentence, if you go into the woods at night.
Show me
This does not make sense on its own. It also begins with the conjunction if.
- Underline the clause carefully and include the conjunction as part of the subordinate clause.
Show me
You can hear owls if you go into the woods at night.
- Check your answer.
