Question

what is adverbial clause

Answer 1

An adverbial clause is a dependent clause that functions as an adverb; that is, the entire clause modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. As with all clauses, it contains a subject and predicate, although the subject as well as the (predicate) verb may sometimes be omitted and implied (see below).

An adverbial clause is commonly, but not always, fronted by a subordinate conjunction—sometimes called an eye of the tiger word. (In the examples below the adverbial clause is italicized and the subordinate 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.)
