00:00.240 --> 00:02.430
Welcome to this tutorial.

00:02.430 --> 00:06.000
Today we're going to talk about adverb clause.

00:06.060 --> 00:09.320
Let's get started.

00:09.440 --> 00:16.820
Remember that are dependent or a subordinate clause gives additional information to the main sentence.

00:16.820 --> 00:21.440
Thus it can not stand alone as a separate sentence.

00:21.440 --> 00:24.530
Have a look at the example over here.

00:24.530 --> 00:30.120
When she comes back home after a long day at work she likes to take a bath.

00:30.140 --> 00:37.820
Now the dependent or the subordinate clause is when she comes back home after a long day at work.

00:37.820 --> 00:42.860
And it's used to give us additional information about the main sentence.

00:42.920 --> 00:44.180
She likes to take a bath

00:47.710 --> 00:56.590
now an adverb clause is a dependent clause that modifies an adjective an adverb or a verb or a phrase

00:56.800 --> 00:59.750
providing additional information.

00:59.830 --> 01:02.960
Have a look at the example below.

01:03.170 --> 01:06.240
Give me a call when you get home.

01:06.320 --> 01:12.840
Now the adverb clause in the sentence when you get home modifies the verb phrase.

01:12.980 --> 01:13.880
Give me a call

01:17.180 --> 01:27.380
note that an adverb clause can begin with words such as after because since until when etc. It's in

01:27.380 --> 01:30.150
the examples below.

01:30.280 --> 01:33.760
We were at the beach when it started raining.

01:33.760 --> 01:39.490
Mike is running every day as he is going to run a marathon in a month

01:42.560 --> 01:50.180
now an ad for a class can be placed at the beginning end at the end of the sentence without a change

01:50.180 --> 01:51.520
in meaning.

01:51.530 --> 01:58.300
Now make sure to use a comma If the clause is placed at the beginning of the sentence.

01:58.310 --> 02:01.260
Have a look at the examples below.

02:01.430 --> 02:07.100
You should brush your teeth before you go to bed before you go to bed.

02:07.100 --> 02:08.920
You should brush your teeth.

02:09.950 --> 02:17.050
There is no change in meaning but the adverb clause in the first sentence is placed at the end.

02:17.780 --> 02:24.180
And in the second sentence the adverb clause is placed at the beginning and a comma is used.
