Types of clauses
Please help me to define types of clauses 1) main/independent 2) subject,object, predicative, adverbial...
La Falterona began to sing, in an undertone, but as she heard the sounds come from her lips and found that they were clear and pure she let herself go.
La Falterona began to sing, in an undertone - main.
Clauses "as she heard the sounds come from her lips" and "found that they were clear and pure" - are subordinate to the main clause but independent to each other(exptressed by homogeneous predicates).
But what about clause "she let herself go" - what is it dependent on?
