You forgot to say 'please' in this request for help. A subordinate clause adds information to a main clause. eg Tom has a car, which is red. It's correct grammar to have a main clause without a subordinate clause. eg Tom has a car. But i'ts not correct grammar to have a subordinate clause without a main clause. eg Which is red.
