part of a sentence which serves to modify verbs adjectives or other adverbs
An adverbial clause is a
clause that functions as an
adverb. In other words, it contains
subject (explicit or implied) and
predicate, and it modifies a
verb.I saw Joe when I went to the store. (explicit subject I)He sat quietly in order to appear polite. (implied subject he)According to Sidney Greenbaum and Randolph Quirk, adverbial clauses function mainly as
adjuncts or
disjuncts. In those functions they are like
adverbial phrases, but in their potentiality for greater explicitness, they are more often like prepositional phrases (Greenbaum and Quirk,1990): We left after the speeches ended.We left after the end of the speeches.
