ADVERB CLAUSES

What is an adverb clause?

An adverb clause is a group of words that is used to change or qualify the meaning of an adjective, a
verb, a clause, another adverb, or any other type of word or phrase with the exception of determiners
and adjectives that directly modify nouns.

Adverb clauses always meet three requirements:

• First, an adverb clause always contains a subject and a verb.
• Second, adverb clauses contain subordinate conjunctions that prevent them from containing
complete thoughts and becoming full sentences.
• Third, all adverb clauses answer one of the classic “adverb questions:” When? Why? How? Where?
 Subordinate Conjunction + S + V +/- …

Types Subordinate Conjunctions Examples

Time Before, after, since, until, as long as, as When the clock strikes midnight, she has to leave.
soon as, now that, once, when, while, Adverbial clause Main clause

Comma use with adverbial clauses
Comma use with adverbial clauses depends upon placement of the adverbial clause.
If the adverbial clause introduces the sentence, place a comma between it and the main clause.

If the adverbial clause follows the main clause in a sentence, do not place a comma between the two.
