out Of pocket
Well, honey, "out the pocket" is neither a main clause nor a subordinate clause. It's actually a prepositional phrase that adds some flavor to your sentence. So, if you're trying to impress your English teacher, just remember that "out the pocket" is strutting its stuff as a prepositional phrase, not a clause.
yes
The main clause or the principal clause in a complex sentence; is a key sentence.
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).

No, "out of pocket" is not a subordinate clause; it is a phrase that typically refers to expenses that one must pay directly, often in the context of insurance or personal finances. A subordinate clause, on the other hand, is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb but cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it depends on a main clause for its meaning. For example, "because I had to pay" is a subordinate clause.
A sentence with one main clause and one or more dependent clauses is a complex sentence. This type of sentence has one independent clause that can stand alone as a complete sentence, along with one or more dependent clauses that rely on the main clause for meaning.
A preposition introduces a subordinate clause to the main clause of the sentence. For example, both 'to the main clause of the sentence' and 'of the sentence' are subordinate clauses. The words 'to' and 'of' are prepositions. Subordinate clauses written by themselves are not complete sentences. The main clause is still a complete sentence without the subordinate clause. A preposition introduces a subordinate clause. The main clause of the sentence. The sentence.
They are only partially similar. A sentence is complete in itself, a clause - whether a main clause or a subordinate clause - may not be complete.
