1 answer

The subordinate clause in the sentence "The server finally took our order after we had waited for twenty minutes." is:

"after we had waited for twenty minutes."

A subordinate clause, also known as a dependent clause, does not form a complete sentence on its own and is dependent on the main clause to provide context and complete the meaning of the sentence. In this case, "after we had waited for twenty minutes" provides additional information about the timing related to the main action described in the sentence.
