Questions
What is an adverbial clause?
An adverbial clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb. It gives extra information about the main action, such as when, where or why it happens. Example: I will call you when I arrive.
What is the difference between when and while?
We use when for a point in time or a short action. We use while for an action that continues for some time. Examples: When the phone rang, I was cooking. I was cooking while my brother watched TV.
How can I practise adverbial clauses of time?
Learn common linking words, such as when, while, before, after, until and as soon as. Then write your own sentences with them. Remember to use the present simple for the future after them: I will leave as soon as it stops raining.
