    Best answer

    Hm, qué exactamente estas estudiando? Noun phrase o introductory and subordinate clauses? Depende un poco de tu nivel la respuesta. Voy con la más básica... La "tense" o tiempo verbal, es present simple. Clause es lo mismo que decir "parte de la oración" First clause/ primera parte second clause/segunda parte, y así. First clause: The way I see it, Subordinate clause (una parte de la oración que no tiene sentido sola, algo más tenes que agregarle si o sí) Second clause: he is better off in his new office. Main clause (una parte de la oración que podría perfectamente estar sola sin nada adelante o después) Esto pasa con el 90% de las frases introductorias y opiniones personales, y casi todas llevan coma, como: I wonder, As I see it, In my opinion, From my eye, To my eye, On my experience, From my point of view, From where I stand, Entre muchisimas otras. Todas son subordinate clause. No pueden ir solas. Lo que les sigue siempre será el main clause (Que sí puede ir solo) Exitos!
