Explain the different types of adverbial clauses with examples

Answer 1

Types of Adverbial Clauses
Adverbial Clauses function as standard adverbs in a number of ways. They can be categorized into various types according to the following parameters:

1) Place or Location

The adverbial clauses that indicate place or location of action/verb in the main clause usually start with one of these subordinate conjunctions- where, wherever.

2) Time

The adverbial clauses that indicate time of action/verb in the main clause usually start with one of these subordinate conjunctions- since, while, until, after, before, when, whenever, etc.

3) Manner

The adverbial clauses that indicate manner of action/ verb usually in the main clause start with one of these subordinate conjunctions- like, as, as if, etc.

4) Reason

The adverbial clauses that indicate reason of action/ verb in the main clause usually start with one of these subordinate conjunctions- because, as, in order to, since, so that etc.

5) Degree or Comparison

The adverbial clauses that indicate degree or comparison of verb in the main clause usually start with one of these subordinate conjunctions- as, than, etc. Though most adverbial clauses modify verbs, however these adverbial clauses of comparison may often modify adjectives and adverbs in the main clause as well.

6) Possibility or Conditionality

The adverbial clauses that indicate possibility or conditionality in the main clause usually start with one of these subordinate conjunctions- though, although, unless, if, even if, etc.
