We can identify subordinate clauses and verbal phrases in each of the sentences in the following manner:
- "that live in this part of the country" - Subordinate clause
- "when locusts rub their hind legs against their wings" - Subordinate clause
- "to listen to locusts on a hot summer night" - Verbal phrase
- "that they make" - Subordinate clause
- "but hornets are more threatening" - Subordinate clause
- "hearing the buzz of a horne" - Verbal phrase
<h3>Difference between subordinate clauses and verbal phrases</h3>
A subordinate or dependent clause cannot express a complete thought on its own. To make sense, it needs the main clause the complete its meaning. Subordinate clauses begin with subordinating or relative conjunctions. They also have a subject and a verb.
A verbal phrase does not have a subject. It has a verb, but the phrase itself functions as either an adjective or an adverb in the sentence. Let's compare the two below:
- Subordinate clause: I left <em>because I wanted to see him</em>.
- Verbal phrase: <em>Wanting to see him</em>, I left.
