Adverbial clause
An adverbial clause is an adverbial clause that acts as a clause to modify the verb, adjective or adverb in the main clause. Adverbial clauses
are guided by subordinating conjunctions and connected to the main clause. When placed at the end of the sentence, they are generally not preceded by a comma.
Adverbial clauses can be divided into time, reason, condition, comparison, result, purpose, etc. according to the meaning they express. Let's analyze the key points
one by one.
Adverbial clauses of time: adverbial clauses guided by subordinate conjunctions such as when, as, while, after, before, since, until, as soon as, etc.
Adverbial clauses of time.
The predicate verb in the time adverbial clause cannot use the simple future tense, but can only use the simple present tense to express future actions or
states of existence.
For example: I will call you as soon as I arrive there.
Adverbial clauses of reason: because, since, as and for all express reasons. We often don’t know which one to use. Let's
compare.
Because is the strongest word. It answers the question asked by why and is used to explain unknown reasons. When the reason can be clearly seen
or people know the reason, use as or since.
For example: I don't like that coat, because the color looks terrible.
If the clause introduced by because is placed at the end of the sentence and is preceded by a comma, you can use for to replace. But if it is not to explain the direct reason, but to infer from multiple situations, you can only use for.
For example: He is not here, because / for his mother is ill.
Adverbial clause of purpose: The clause expressing the adverbial clause of purpose can be introduced by words such as in order that, so that, etc. . For example:
You must raise your voice so that/in order that everybody can hear you clearly.
Result adverbial clause: Result adverbial clause often consists of so...that or such. ..that guide, to master and distinguish these two sentence patterns,
First of all, you must understand what words follow so and such. Such is an adjective, modifying a noun or noun phrase, and so is an adverb, which can only modify adjectives or adverbs. So can also be used with adjectives expressing quantity, many, few, much, little, to form a fixed combination.
For example: The box is so heavy that I can't carry it.
Adverbial clause of concession: it is an adverbial clause introduced by though, although.
Though, although and but cannot be used at the same time.
Although it rained, they had a good time.
