Subject Clauses

Subject clauses can be used in pre-position or post-position to the main clause of a sentence. Conjunctions like what, that, whether, because, whoever, whatever, and how can be used to connect subject subclauses. A complex sentence with a subject subclause contains inclusive subordination, placing the subject clause before or after the main clause as shown in the example "What a pity that he won’t come."
