Which type of clause is this?
I need help identifying which type of clauses are present in the following sentence:
Little Johnny violated the classroom rules by talking without permission.
Are there 2 subordinate clauses? Specifically, what kind of clause is "by talking without permission"?
Any English majors? Please Help!

There are no subordinate clauses. There is only one independent clause. Its subject is 'Little Johnny' and its verb is 'violated.'
"By talking without permission" is not a clause; it's a prepositional phrase. It's an adverbial phrase, modifying 'violated.'
