A subordinating clause is a dependent clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and is introduced by a subordinating conjunction (e.g., because, although, while). For example, in the combination "Although it was raining, we decided to go for a hike," the first part "Although it was raining" is the subordinating clause. This structure contrasts with a simple sentence that consists of two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction.
An example of a song with a subordinating conjunction is "Let It Be" by The Beatles. The line "When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me" uses the subordinating conjunction "when" to introduce a dependent clause.
Yes, the adverb clause "although the ostrich is a bird" would be followed by a comma.
Yes, that's correct. When the past tense is used in an independent clause, the dependent clause usually uses present tense. This creates a sense of harmony and sequence in the sentence.
A sentence is a complex sentence if there is one Dependent Clause and one Independent Clause. A dependent clause has a subject and a verb/predicate but does not have a complete thought and uses a dependent marker. Some dependent markers are: after, although, as, as if, because, before, even if, even though, if, in order to, since, though, unless, until, whatever, whenever, when, whether and while. An independent clause has a subject and a verb/predicate and has a complete thought and a complex sentence uses a dependent marker.

Pronouns in the nominative case are used as the subject of a sentence or a clause; also called subjective pronouns.
By analyzing the sentence to determine what function the word is serving in the sentence. If the word is part of the subject of the sentence or a clause in the sentence, is a "predicate nominative", is a "nominative of address" or is a "nominative absolute", or is an appositive to one of the previously mentioned uses, "I" should be used, because all of the noted uses require a nominative case. For any other function in a sentence, the objective case form "me" should be used.
In compound sentence, there are 2 Independent clauses, Independent clause has a subject, verb/predicate and has a complete thought and it uses coordinating conjunctions. The coordinating conjunctions are: and, but, yet, nor, or, for and so

The sentence uses a complex structure, combining an independent clause ("we won't know") with a dependent clause ("whom the students chose for cheerleader"). The dependent clause acts as the object of the verb "know," and the sentence overall conveys a future uncertainty regarding the students' choice. The use of "whom" indicates that it is the object of the verb "chose."
