"I left before she came although she asked me to wait for you."
"I left before she came although she asked me to wait for you."
Two subordinate conjunctions can be used at the same time like that and then "I left" is a main clause and "before she came" is a subordinate clause of the main clause and then how about "although she asked me to wait for you"? Is it a subordinate clause of "I left" or "I left before she came"?
I think that "I left" is a main clause and the others are subordinate clauses of it respectively.
What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much in advance.
