Worksheet for identifying adverbial clauses in sentences.

Task: Underline the adverbial clause in each sentence.

An adverbial clause is a dependent clause that functions as an adverb. It modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb by providing information about time, place, cause, condition, contrast, concession, purpose, or manner. Adverbial clauses are typically introduced by subordinating conjunctions (e.g., "after," "because," "if," "since," "unless," etc.).

Let’s analyze each sentence and underline the adverbial clause:
