Adverbial Clauses, Definition and Example Sentences

Adverbs, verbs, or predicates that you often come across in sentences in English characterize the situation, tense, or few-many. Some adverbs are the same as adjectives, and some words need to be added to the end to make them adverbs.

Types of Adverbs

• Conjunctive adverbs
• Adverbs of frequency
• Adverbs of time
• Adverbs of manner
• Adverbs of degree
• Adverbs of place

An adverbial clause functions like an adverb. It gives information about the time, place, condition, reason, manner, or purpose of an action that occurred. They modify whole clauses.
