Adverb clauses An adverb clause is a dependent clause which functions as an adverb. An adverb clause gives information about
time, place, contrast, cause, result, purpose, condition, manner or degree. The words that begin adverb clauses are
called subordinate conjunctions. The followings are some common subordinate conjunctions:
Where, wherever, because, since, before, after, until, although, even though, whereas, while, as though, when, whenever, now that, as … as, in that, so, so that, if, in order that, unless, in case, as if. -
When I see him, I will tell it.
If an adverb clause comes before the main clause a comma is used. If an adverb clause comes after the main
clause no comma is used.
