To find the adverb clause in each sentence, we need to look for a group of words that has a subject and a verb but starts with a subordinating conjunction (like *after, because, when, if, until, as*). These clauses tell us
when,
why,
how, or
under what condition something happens.
Here is the step-by-step breakdown for each sentence:
1.
"After we eat dinner, we will go to the store."
* Look for the conjunction: "After".
* Check for subject + verb: "we" (subject) + "eat" (verb).
* The clause is:
After we eat dinner
2.
"Because we are friends, I will give you a discount."
* Look for the conjunction: "Because".
* Check for subject + verb: "we" (subject) + "are" (verb).
* The clause is:
Because we are friends
3.
"Please call me if the boys come home."
* Look for the conjunction: "if".
* Check for subject + verb: "the boys" (subject) + "come" (verb).
* The clause is:
if the boys come home
4.
"Let’s wait here until they get finished shopping."
* Look for the conjunction: "until".
* Check for subject + verb: "they" (subject) + "get" (verb).
* The clause is:
until they get finished shopping
5.
"We huddled under the awning where we could stay dry."
* Look for the conjunction: "where".
* Check for subject + verb: "we" (subject) + "could stay" (verb phrase).
* The clause is:
where we could stay dry
6.
"Before you start that sandwich, I think we should talk."
* Look for the conjunction: "Before".
* Check for subject + verb: "you" (subject) + "start" (verb).
* The clause is:
Before you start that sandwich
7.
"I was not here when John arrived."
* Look for the conjunction: "when".
* Check for subject + verb: "John" (subject) + "arrived" (verb).
* The clause is:
when John arrived
8.
"We watched the movie as the children played."
* Look for the conjunction: "as".
* Check for subject + verb: "the children" (subject) + "played" (verb).
* The clause is:
as the children played
