Step-by-step solution for: Adverb Clauses Worksheet
The image you've uploaded contains a worksheet titled "Adverb Clauses", which asks students to underline the adverb clauses in each of the 10 sentences provided.
---
An adverb clause is a dependent clause that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It answers questions like:
- When?
- Where?
- Why?
- How?
- Under what conditions?
Adverb clauses usually begin with subordinating conjunctions such as:
- *because, although, if, when, while, since, unless, until, after, before, so that, even though,* etc.
---
Let’s go through each sentence and identify the adverb clause (the part that should be underlined):
---
1. Since it will rain today, we are going to have the party inside.
→ Adverb clause: *Since it will rain today*
*(explains why they're having the party inside)*
2. I am crying because my cat is sick.
→ Adverb clause: *because my cat is sick*
*(explains why she is crying)*
3. Put your papers in the box so you can go out the door.
→ Adverb clause: *so you can go out the door*
*(explains purpose – why to put papers in the box)*
4. Don’t tell Granny about the surprise until the cornies to visit.
→ Adverb clause: *until the cornies to visit*
*(Note: There seems to be a typo — likely "cornies" should be "cousins" or "corny" is a name? But assuming it's meant to be "cousins" or similar, the clause is still valid.)*
→ Adverb clause: *until the cornies to visit*
*(indicates time — until something happens)*
5. After we go to the movies, we are having dinner.
→ Adverb clause: *After we go to the movies*
*(tells when they’re having dinner)*
6. You can have dessert if you eat your vegetables.
→ Adverb clause: *if you eat your vegetables*
*(conditions for having dessert)*
7. Before you can take the test, we need to review.
→ Adverb clause: *Before you can take the test*
*(tells when the review must happen)*
8. Although you say you feel sick, I can’t find anything wrong with you.
→ Adverb clause: *Although you say you feel sick*
*(shows contrast – despite what you say)*
9. While you were asleep last night, it snowed!
→ Adverb clause: *While you were asleep last night*
*(tells when it snowed)*
10. You cannot play basketball unless you clean your room first.
→ Adverb clause: *unless you clean your room first*
*(condition for playing basketball)*

- Look for subordinating conjunctions at the beginning of a clause.
- The clause will not make sense alone — it depends on the main clause.
- Practice identifying the function of the clause (time, reason, condition, contrast, etc.).
