A subordinate clause, also known as a dependent clause, is a clause that cannot stand alone as a sentence because it does not contain a subject and a verb that express a complete thought. Subordinate clauses depend on a main clause to form a complete sentence. For example, the subordinate clause "because it was raining" in the sentence "I stayed inside because it was raining" cannot stand alone as a sentence because it does not express a complete thought. It must be attached to a main clause to form a complete sentence. On the other hand, a main clause, also known as an independent clause, is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence because it contains a subject and a verb that express a complete thought. For example, the main clause "I stayed inside" in the sentence "I stayed inside because it was raining" can stand alone as a sentence because it expresses a complete thought. So to answer your question, subordinate clauses cannot stand alone as a sentence, but main clauses can.
