I have two subspaces $S,V$ of $W$. If I have a base of $S$ $b_1,b_2,...,b_k$ and $dimS<dimV$ can I fill this base to the base of $V$, I know that I can extend this base to a base of $W$, but can I do that for a base of $V$? For example base of V is $b_1,b_2,....,b_k,b_k+1,..b_l$

    If $S$ is also a subspace of $V$ then yes, otherwise you cannot do this in general.

  • yes S is subspace of V

  • Then yeah: you can always extend the basis of a subspace to a basis for the whole space; in this case we just regard $V$ as the ambient space that $S$ is a subspace inside of.
