Dependent Clauses: Adverbial, Adjectival, Nominal Like a single-word adverb, an adverbial clause describes a verb (in the sentence's main clause) and answers one of these questions. An adverbial clause begins with a subordinating conjunction, which makes the clause subordinate (dependent). Common subordinating conjunctions: after.

Difference Between Adverb and Adverbial Adverbs and Adverbials are used to modify a verb or a sentence; they both express details like manner, place, time, frequency, etc. Adverbials are syntactic units to which adverbs, adverbial phrases, and adverbial clauses belong.

Adverbial An adverbial is a construction that modifies, or describes, verbs. When an adverbial modifies a verb, it changes the meaning of that verb. Word groups that are also considered to be adverbials can also modify verbs: for example, a prepositional phrase, a noun phrase, a finite clause or a non-finite clause.ll verb-or sentence-modifying adjuncts are adverbials, but some adverbials are not adjuncts. 1  If the removal of an adverbial does not leave a well-formed sentence, then it is not an adjunct. 2  If the adverbial modifies within a sentence element, and is not a sentence element in its own right, it is not an adjunct.

Adjective Clause A dependent, or subordinate, clause contains a subject and a verb or verb phrase but does not express a complete thought. As a result, it cannot stand alone as a sentence. Dependent clauses can function either as noun clauses, adjective clauses, or adverb clauses. An adjective clause is a dependent clause that, like an adjective, modifies a noun or pronoun. Adjective clauses begin with words such as that, when, where, who, whom, whose, which, and why.

# 8. The Joining of Sentences Option 3 -- The Semicolon and a Conjunctive Adverb. The third way to combine two simple sentences (independent clauses) is to use a semicolon and a conjunctive adverb (i.e., however, therefore, indeed, moreover, consequently, etc.). Conjunctive adverbs carry the thought of the first independent clause to the next one.

Clauses: the Essential Building-Blocks Unlike independent clauses, which simply are what they are, dependent clauses are said to perform various functions within a sentence. They act either in the capacity of some kind of noun or as some kind of modifier. There are three basic kinds of dependent clauses, categorized according to their function in the sentence. Remember that a dependent clause always contains a subject and a verb, but it cannot stand by itself. 1  Adverb clauses provide information about what is going on in the main (independent) clause: where, when, or why. 2  Adjective clauses work like multi-word adjectives. 3  Noun clauses can do anything that nouns can do.

Grammar Unit 3- Identifying Types of Clauses At its base level, it is a DEPENDENT/SUBORDINATE Clause that acts as an ADVERB by modifying a verb, adjective, or another adverb. The Adverb Clause answers the questions how, when, where, why, to what extent, or under what condition.. An Adverb Clause is usually introduced by a SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTION as the FIRST word in the clause.

- A subordinate (dependent) clause may function as a noun, an adjective or an adverb in sentence. On the basis of their function in a sentence, subordinate clauses can be divided in to following types. 1. Noun Clause. 2. Adjective Clause.

- Parts of the Sentence-Adjective, Adverb, and Noun Clauses. The adjective clause is used to modify a noun or a pronoun. It will begin with a relative pronoun (who, whose, whom, which, and that) or a subordinate conjunction (when and where). Those are the only words that can be used to introduce an adjective clause.

"Students who are intelligent understand adjectives. (The adjective clause is underlined. It is an ""adjective"" clause because it describes the noun ""students."")RememberA clause is a group of related words with a subject and verb.RememberAdjective clauses are always dependent clauses.Adjective clauses, like adverb clauses, are introduced by dependent signals.If you want to be considered cool and impress members of the opposite sex, remember this:Subordinating conjunctions introduce adverb clauses and relative pronouns introduce adjective clauses.OK, OK, so that wonï¿½t impress most members of the opposite sexï¿½only English majors.If you happen to be in love with a botanist, a cocktail waitress or a rock singer, it will be OK just to remember this:Adverb and adjective clauses are both introduced by dependent signals, but those signals are different.And now the good news (finally!). . .There are only five words which introduce adjective clauses.They are called relative pronouns because they relate the clause to something in the sentence.If you find yourself not caring a hoot in a far country about that, just remember that there are only five dependent signals which introduce adjective clauses. They are:WhoWhomWhoseWhichThatA Word of Caution:Sometimes these words function as dependent signals, but sometimes they donï¿½t.Example:How did you come up with that? (""That"" doesnï¿½t introduce a clause. It identifies something. If you really want to know, it is a demonstrative pronoun. But donï¿½t worry your noggin about that now. Just be aware that these dependent signals can sometimes do other things.)Letï¿½s look at a couple of examples:I love sentences which extol the virtues of English teachers. (The adjective clause is underlined. It modifies the object ""sentences."")Students whom I admire want to become English teachers. (Again, the adjective clause is underlined and modifies the subject ""students."")RememberA noun is a subject or an object, so adjectives will always modify subjects or objects.Letï¿½s look at these sentences a little more closely.I love sentences which extol the virtues of English teachers. (The verb of this clause is ""extol."" The subject is ""which"" because it stands for ""sentences."")Students whom I admire want to become English teachers. (The verb of this clause is ""admire."" The subject of the clause is ""I."" The object is ""whom."")If you are well fed, well rested, and psychologically at peace with yourself, you have no doubt come to an astonishing realization.Dependent signals which introduce adjective clauses perform a double duty. They introduce the clause and they also function inside the clause as a subject or object.Therefore, I call these little devils (sorry, I mean these relative pronouns), double duty dependent signals.Again, the double duty dependent signals which introduce adjective clauses are:WhoWhomWhoseWhichThatBut what about these examples?The grade I received was a shock. (We donï¿½t see any dependent signal do we? But we know we have two clauses because we have two subject-verb combinationsï¿½""grade/was,"" ""I/received."")The book I borrowed was full of grammatical wisdom. (No dependent signal here either. But we have two subject verb combinationsï¿½""book/was"" and ""I/borrowed""ï¿½so we know we have two clauses.)Look at them now:The grade  [that] I received was a shock.The book  [that] I borrowed was full of grammatical wisdom. (Hereï¿½s the point. Sometimes the dependent signal [usually ""that""] is implied. Mentally insert it, and the sentence will be easier to analyze.)Thereï¿½s only one more thing about adjective clauses that you need to know. Itï¿½s something youï¿½ve never, ever understood, and Iï¿½m going to explain it so that youï¿½ll never, ever forget it. (So try to contain your joy!)Some adjective clauses need to be set off by commas and others donï¿½t.Now hereï¿½s the part youï¿½ve never understoodï¿½ non-restrictive clauses need commas andrestrictive clauses donï¿½t.""What in the Sam Hill is the difference?"" you say.It is this:Some adjective clauses are like gossip, they provide additional detail about someone (or something) whose identity we already know. Put commas around those.Examples:My English teacher, who wears old fashioned ties, is laughed at by the students. (The adjective clause is underlined. It doesnï¿½t identify the English teacher; it just provides a gossipy sort of detail about him. Set these off with commas.)My English book, which is a monument of boredom, is used mainly as a door stop. (Once again, the adjective clause is underlined. It doesnï¿½t identify the English book, it just provides a gossipy, editorial comment about it. Set this clause off with a comma.)Now take a look at these:The English teachers that I like best forget to go to class. (This isnï¿½t pure gossip any longer. The writer doesnï¿½t like all English teachers equally well. The adjective clause identifies which ones he likes best. Because it helps identify, donï¿½t set if off with commas. )Anyone who reads all of this will go away happier and wiser. (Once again, this clause identifies who will go away happier and wiser. Itï¿½s not gossip, itï¿½s essential information, so donï¿½t put commas around it.)Return to grammar reviewReturn to composition pageReturn to home page" There are only five words which introduce adjective clauses. They are called relative pronouns because they relate the clause to something in the sentence. If you find yourself not caring a hoot in a far country about that, just remember that there are only five dependent signals which introduce adjective clauses.
