Answer:

because I have to finish working first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subordinate clause:

  • A group of words that contains a verb and when placed separately, doesn't make sense is called a subordinate clause.

Characteristics of a subordinate clause.

  • A subordinate clause contains a proper subject and verb.
  • It always starts from a conjunction.

Here, the conjunction is "because". So, the subordinate clause is "because I have to finish working first."


\rule[225]{225}{2}
