A clause can be identified when the main clause is asked a question. Looking at the subordinator (conjunction) also gives an idea of the clause used.
⇒ An adverb clause is usually used for conjunctions describing the time or reason for something. Even when a degree is given to the clause. Like there's a timeline in the conjunctions 'when' for example (1) & similarly for examples with reasons in it (examples 2,3,7)
⇒ An adjective clause is used when the noun of the sentence is converted to Ist person singular. When (I/me) as used in the examples 4,5,6,&11.
⇒ A noun clause is identified when the object of the sentence is turned and interchanged to become the subject of the sentence. The same is the case with examples 8,9,&12.
