Is because a common noun?
Because is NOT a noun at all. It is a conjunction. There are eight parts of speech: Noun, verb, pronoun, preposition, adjective, adverb, interjections, and conjunctions. Conjunctions link words, phrases, and clauses.Because is a subordinating conjunction where a word, phrase, or clause is dependent on another clause. The most common subordinating conjunctions are "after," "although," "as," "because," "before," "how," "if," "once," "since," "than," "that," "though," "till," "until," "when," "where," "whether," and "while."Example: She went home because she was so tired.She went home is an independent clause upon which because she was so tired is dependent. Because acts as the link between the dependent clause she was so tired and the independent clause She went home. The dependent clause is subordinate to the independent clause.
What is a independent clause and dependent clause?
An independent clause is a simple sentence that is correct by itself. Examples: I ride the bus. He wrote a story.

(The part before the comma is the dependent clause and the part after is the independent clause because it can be a sentence on it's own.)

Is after a subordinating conjunction?
Yes, it can be. It can also be a preposition (used with just a noun object), or an adverb (used alone). conjunction - He went home before he went to the meeting. preposition - He went home before the meeting. adverb - He had met the owner before.
Is before we went out a main clause?
No, "before we went out" is not a main clause. It is a subordinate clause that functions as an adverbial clause indicating time. A main clause, also known as an independent clause, can stand alone as a complete sentence and typically contains a subject and a predicate. In this case, "before we went out" does not express a complete thought on its own and is dependent on the rest of the sentence for clarity.
