    When the sentence is inverted, meaning that the subordinate clause comes before the independent one, then you have to use a comma. For example:

    Before I could stop her, she took one of my cookies.

    On the other hand, if the subordinate clause follows the independent one, a comma is unnecessary. For example:

    I wanted to get home before my parents arrived.

    In both examples, the subordinate clause is underlined.
