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.

So to answer your question, subordinate clauses cannot stand alone as a sentence, but main clauses can.
