An adverb clause generally tells how, when, where, why, how much, to what extent, or under what condition the action of the verb takes place. EXAMPLES After I proofread my paper, I input the corrections. (adverb clause tells when) Because crepes are delicious, Joy makes them on special occasions. (adverb clause tells why) You and your brother may come with us if you want. (adverb clause tells under what condition) As you can see in the first two examples above, introductory adverb clauses are usually set off by commas. Like adverbs, adverb clauses may also modify adjectives or adverbs. EXAMPLES Have the computers made office work easier than it was before? (adverb clause modifies easier) My cousin Adele reads faster than I do. (adverb clause modifies faster) Note: When using adverb clauses to make comparisons, be sure your comparisons are complete. She likes dancing better than I do. Adverb clauses are introduced by subordinating conjunctions (WABU WABU WATIST)words that show the relationship between the adverb clause and the word or words that the clause modifies. COMMON SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS after because since when although before so that whenever as even though than where as if if though wherever as long as in order that unless whether as soon as once until while PRACTICE Identify each adverb clause in the following sentences. A sentence may have more than one adverb clause. Remember: some subordinating conjunctions, such as after, before, since, and until, may also be used as prepositions. Phrases do not contain verbs. If you look through newspapers from the first half of the twentieth century, you will see many pictures of Mohandas K. Gandhi. This man led India to independence from Britain, and he took his spinning wheel wherever he went. He did so because he viewed spinning as a symbol of the peaceful, traditional Indian lifestyle. He also hoped to encourage the Indian people to make their own clothes so that they would not have to depend on British industry. As a form of protest, he led marches or fasted until the government met his requests. Gandhis nonviolent methods were more powerful than anyone could have predicted. As Indias Congress and people increasingly supported Gandhis nonviolent program, the British government was forced to listen. Gandhi was well qualified to represent India as a diplomat since he had studied law in London before he became involved in Indias freedom movement. After independence was assured, Gandhi turned his attention to helping Indias many poor people. Because he was loved throughout India and the world, Gandhi was called Mahatma, meaning Great Soul.
