Adverb clauses are groups of words that contain a subject and verb that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. There are several types of adverb clauses including clauses of concession, time, reason, contrast, result, purpose, place, and manner. Each type is introduced by different subordinating conjunctions like although, when, because, whereas, so that, where, and as. Adverb clauses provide details like when, how, why to the independent clause in the sentence.
