Reviewing the adverbial clauses

Adverbial clauses are less than (subordinate to) sentences. They do not contain a complete thought.

Adverbial clauses always modify the verb in the main clause (the sentence) to which the adverbial clause is attached.

An adverbial clause tells how, when, why, how much, to what extent and under what conditions the action in the main clause takes place.

Adverbial clauses always begin with a subordinating conjunction. The most common subordinating conjunctions are listed below.

Before, after, unless

Although, if, until

As, in order that, when

As, since, whenever

as long as, so that, where

as soon as, than, wherever

because, though, while

Adverbial clauses, like all subordinate clauses, are structured in the same way all sentences are structured. All adverbial clauses will fall into one of the five sentence patterns that have already been described.
