En subclause er en underordnet ledsætning, altså den del af sætningen, der ikke kan stå alene.
He went straight home when the show was over.
Du kan godt nøjes med at sige "He went straight home", men du kan ikke nøjes med "when the show was over", altså er den sidste en subclause. Den handling, sætningen skal fortælle om, er, at han tog hjem - ikke at showet var slut.
I dette tilfælde fortæller subclause noget om, hvornår han tog hjem, altså om tid. Hvis den handler om tid, sted, årsag, formål (og nogle stykker mere, som jeg ikke lige kan huske), så er der tale om adverbial clauses, f.eks.
Because he was blind, he walked straight into the door........he walked straight into the door because he was blind
To receive the reward, he had to show up at the police station.......He had to show up at the police station to receive the reward
Læg også mærke til kommaet. Der skal være komma, når subclause kommer før mainclause.
