Detailed Explanation

The Nebensatz is characterized by having the conjugated verb at the end of the clause. It is usually introduced by a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun. These clauses cannot stand alone and always depend on a main clause to have a complete meaning.

There are several types of Nebensätze, such as relative clauses, temporal clauses, causal clauses, among others.
