independent clause
An alternative term for a main clause is an independent clause.
An insubordinate clause is just another word for an Independent clause. A subordinate clause is just another word for a Dependent clause. An Independent clause is a sentence that can stand by itself and a dependent clause can't stand by itself.

Another name for a dependent clause is a subordinate clause. This type of clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on an independent clause to provide context and meaning. Dependent clauses often begin with subordinating conjunctions like "because," "although," or "if."
I think you can't have a subordinate independent clause. A subordinate clause is a clause which is dependant on another clause it can't stand alone as a sentence. An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence.
A clause that does not make sense without another clause is known as a dependent or subordinate clause. For example, in the sentence "Although it was raining," the clause "Although it was raining" is incomplete and requires an independent clause to provide context, such as "Although it was raining, we decided to go for a walk." Without the independent clause, the meaning remains unclear.
An independent clause can function as a complete sentence because it expresses a complete thought with a subject and a predicate. It does not rely on another clause to convey a clear meaning.
Subordinate clauseA subordinate (or dependent) clause is a clause that needs another clause. Unlike independent clauses it cannot stand alone. The word because is usually a good indicator of a subordinate clause.
