PEAZIT Aha card

Czech: main and subordinate clauses

Go straight to resources ↓

A subordinate clause depends on and complements an expression in another clause. In „Vím, že přijdeš“, ask I know what? → že přijdeš. The main clause does not depend on another in this way.

See how meaning or form supports the decision.
ExampleReasoning
Vím, že přijdeš. → VímThis clause asks for the content of knowing; it is main.
Vím co? → že přijdešThe answer complements vím; it is subordinate.

One worked example

  1. Vím, že přijdeš. → VímThis clause asks for the content of knowing; it is main.
  2. Vím co? → že přijdešThe answer complements vím; it is subordinate.

Watch out: Order is not decisive; a subordinate clause can precede or interrupt the main clause.
