Noun: She believes that she will not return, where she believes is the main clause and that she will not return is a substantive subordinate clause that acts as a direct object.
Adjective: The postman who brings the package is very kind, where the postman is very kind is the main sentence, and who brings the package is an adjective subordinate clause that could be substituted for an adjective.
Adverb: She comes to fix her car, where she comes from is the main sentence and for her to fix her car is an adverbial subordinate within the main one.
Class of coordination
The classification of coordinated sentences is based on the criterion of the logical relationship between the two sentences, as well as, sometimes, on the link used.

Class of Subordination
Subordinate Noun: They perform the same functions in the sentence that a noun or noun phrase can perform.
Subordinate Adjective or Relative: They are the ones that modify a noun. They therefore perform the function of an adjective. The function of adjective propositions is that of modifying the noun.
The modified noun is called antecedent, and the word that repeats in the subordinate proposition the concept of the antecedent is called relative.
