Question

What is a adverb clause? Give five examples of it. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.)

According to Sidney Greenbaum and Randolph Quirk, adverbial clauses function mainly as adjuncts or disjuncts, which parts also perform in a sentence as adverbial phrases or as adverbial prepositional phrases (Greenbaum and Quirk, 1990). Unlike clauses, phrases do not contain a subject and predicate; they are contrasted here:

We left the convention the day before.

(adverbial phrase; contains no subject or predicate)

We left before the speeches.

(adverbial prepositional phrase; contains no subject or predicate—and no verb (action) is implied)

We left after the speeches ended.

(adverbial clause; contains subject and predicate)

We left after the speeches.

or, (".. after the speeches [ended]")

(adverbial clause; contains subject and predicate, but the verb 'ended' is omitted and implied)
