Read the following example: situation: you want to inform all of your employees

A) The poem that I read in class is by Maya Angelou

Explanation:

A subordinate clause is a clause that does not express a complete thought. As such, it cannot stand on its own. These clauses do have a subject and a predicate, but are dependent on the other words to form a complete sentence.

In this particular case, the only sentence that is subordinate is "The poem that I read in class is by Maya Angelou". It does have a subject and a predicate, but does not share a complete thought. An example of a complete sentence would be: The poem that I read in class is by Maya Angelou is quite interesting.
