<span>Main:
A) its not right to make a promise

</span><span>Subordinate:
</span>B) you are sure you can fulfill the promise

<span>Subordinate action:
</span>B) Adjective

First, the sentence itself is a clause called the matrix clause (you could also call it a main clause). Within that clause is the main clause "It is not right to make a promise" which contains the subordinate infinitival clause "to make a promise" functioning as complement to the adjective "right".

The matrix clause also contains the subordinate clause "you are sure you can fulfill the promise" which functions as complement to the preposition "unless". Within that clause is a further subordinate clause "you can fulfill the promise" which is a declarative content clause functioning as complement to the adjective "sure".

<span>In some grammars "unless" is treated as a subordinator, not a preposition, in which case the expression "unless you are sure you can fulfill the promise" is a subordinate clause functioning as an adjunct of condition.</span>
