there is no subordinate conjunction (because, after, therefore, even though, etc) so it is not a subordinate clause. if you look at it and it could be a complete sentence on it's own and make sense, it's not a subordinate clause.

A main clause = it is independent, i.e. it does not depend on any other sentence. A subordinate clause = a sentence depending on/subordinated to a another sentence, either a main clause or another subordinate clause. (you ask the main clause a question and you answer with the subordinate). e.g. "Can you tell me/ (the main clause) when the book was written?" ( the subordinate clause = a Direct Object). or "This is the book/ that I told you about". (the second clause is an Attributive or a Relative Clause). or If she had know this, / she wouldn't have trusted him." (the first sentence is an If Clause or a Conditional).
