Answer 1

A subordinate clause is a group of words that has both a subject and a verb but cannot stand alone as a sentence.

I like hotdogs. - Sentence

The little baby cries all night. - Sentence

The dog crawls toward the door for food. - Sentence

Until the sun goes down - This is not complete and is depending on other part to get complete or convey a meaning.
