Subordinate Clauses are almost like complete sentences, but they always
explain more about the Main Clause.
Now, let's take a look at some Relating words that start these subordinate clauses:

WHICH WHAT HOW THAT

(S + DON'T/DOESN'T + V1 + RELWORD + S + V1)

V1 + RELWORD + S + AM/ARE/IS + V1 + ING)

Remember all sentences with Subordinate Clauses have 2 subjects
and 2 verbs. You try one now.
