Subordinate clauses
Please, could you help me analyze this sentence: What I don't know is when she is coming? how many clauses are there? which are they? which are subordinate? which is the main clause? Thanks.

I see it as three clauses, as shown below with a pair of brackets around each clause. Only the whole example taken together is a main clause. [ [ What I don't know] is [ when she is coming.
