I hope it's not too late To put it simple, we can say that adverbial clauses do the work of adverbs and can function as adjuncts or disjuncts. Asjuncts are integrated within the structure of the sentence to at least some extent (Halliday calls these 'circumstantial adjuncts'). Disjuncts, on the other hand, are not integrated within the structure of the sentence (they are usually comments about either the form or the content of the sentence). Adjunct: "It started to rain (when I left home)." Disjunct: "Frankly speaking, I don’t like this idea at all." Adverbial clauses may appear in final, initial or medial position (usually in that order of frequency). Semantically, adverbials can be of various...http://www.englishforums.com/English/NounAdjectiveAdverbClauses/gzvc/post.htm#31005Tue, 24 Mar 2009 19:38:50 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:31005miriam3http://www.englishforums.com/English/NounAdjectiveAdverbClauses/gzvc/post.htm#31005http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments31-31005.xmlI wouldn't know how to give a detailed explanation or description of all three types of clause in one post, so let's go step by step. Let's start with adjectival (or relative) clauses, since these are the easiest to identify. They can function only as postmodifiers of a nominal head. This nominal head is called antecedent, and the relative pronoun that introduces the relative clause is replacing the nominal head. Relative clauses may appear both in the subject and in the predicate of a sentence. "The girl (who lent me the books) is not here today." The girl who lent me the books --> subject is not here today --> predicate girl --> head of the subject (noun) who lent me the books --> adjectival clause, it postmodifies...http://www.englishforums.com/English/NounAdjectiveAdverbClauses/gzvc/post.htmSat, 24 Jan 2009 19:38:50 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:30993LaryMooCow4http://www.englishforums.com/English/NounAdjectiveAdverbClauses/gzvc/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments31-30993.xmlI don't understand any of the clauses I have a really hard time identifying them.
