Ejemplo de Adverb Clauses

Cuando usamos una oración subordinada para modificar un verbo, un adjetivo o un adverbio, cumpliendo las funciones de un adverbio, lo llamamos oración adverbial adverb clause.

Al igual que los adverbios, una adverb clause responde a las preguntas How? (¿Cómo?), When? (¿cuándo?) Where (¿dónde?) y to what extent or degree? (¿en qué grado o extensión?). Además las oraciones adverbiales dan una explicación de por qué sucede algo.

When the bell rings, come into the classroom. (When? When the bell rings)

Like a monkey, Stephen was jumping over the trees. (How? Like a monkey)

Saturday, we was walking wherever was a rock, to home (Where? Wherever was a rock)

My car older than you think. (In what extent or degree? More than you think)

I am here because you said me I can come any time I wish. (Why? Because you said me I can come any time I wish)

Las Adverb clauses comienzan con una conjunción subordinada, es decir, un conector que indica la relación entre la oración adverbial y la oración principal. Este tipo de relación puede ser de continuidad, causalidad, conclusivos, de tiempo o adversativos. Algunos de los más frecuentemente usados, son:
