- A subordinate clause--also termed a dependent
clause--expresses a complete thought with a subject and a verb [acting as the
predicate]. However, it is dependent upon a main clause for complete meaning.
Therefore, it is not a complete sentence. - A subordinate
clause can be either an adjective clause that modifies a noun or pronoun, or an adverb
clause that modifies a verb[predicate]. - Subordinate
clauses that are adjective clauses begin with such words as that, which,
who, etc. (See the link below for
more) - Subordinate clauses that are adverbial clauses
begin with subordinating conjunctions such as when, while, whenever, if,
until, unless, so that, even though, after, etc. (See the link for
more)
In order to combine the above-mentioned
sentences using a subordinate clause, the writer can employ an adjective
clause:
A person's skin that is exposed to
sunlight usually turns darker.
