An adverbial clause is a dependent clause that functions as an adverb.[1] That is, the entire clause modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb[citation needed]. As with all clauses, it contains a subject and predicate, though the subject as well as the (predicate) verb may sometimes be omitted and implied (see below).[2]

An adverbial clause is fronted by a subordinating conjunction—sometimes called a trigger word. (In the examples below the adverbial clause is italicized and the subordinating conjunction is bolded.)

• Mary, the aspiring actress, became upset as soon as she saw the casting list.

(subject: she; predicate: saw the casting list; the clause modifies the verb became)

• Peter Paul, the drama teacher, met with Mary after she came to the next class.''

(explicit subject: she; predicate: came to the next class.; predicate (verb): came; the clause modifies the verb met)

• He talked carefully in order to appear fair.

• He talked carefully in order .. [that 'he'] appear fair.

(implied subject, he, is omitted; predicate (verb): appear; the clause modifies the adverb carefully)

• The little boy preferred fierce dinosaurs, as [was] T rex.

(subject of the clause: T rex; predicate of the clause: [was], implied; the clause modifies the adjective fierce.)
