The main purpose of this article is a historical view of the main clause. First, grammatical books before the NGB (Brazilian Gramatical Terminology) were analised. Then, the approaches under the NGB were studied and, finally, recent studies were investigated. Throughout this article, different approaches – syntatic, semantic and discoursive – were also taken into consideration. From this investigation, it was possible to identify some incoherences in the treatment of the main clause.
