It is asking you to find the subordinate clause.
Let's practise
Circle the subordinate clause in the sentence.
Because the bus is late, we will be late for school.
- Read the question carefully and read it again. What is it asking you to do?
Show me
- Check the first part of the sentence, Because the bus is late.
Show me
This does not make complete sense on its own, it does contain a verb and it begins with the conjunction Because.
- Check the second part of the sentence, we will be late for school.
Show me
This part does make sense on its own so it is the main clause.
- Circle the complete subordinate clause, including the conjunction.
Show me
- Check your answer.
