An Adverbial Clause (Adverb

Clause)

Is a word or expression in the sentence that functions as an adverb;

that is, it tells you something about how the action in the verb was
done. An adverbial clause is separated from the other clauses by any of
the following subordinating conjunctions: after | although | as |
because | before | if | since | that | though | till | unless | until |
when | where | while
Adverbial clause + , + Independent clause (a comma after adverbial
clause)
Independent clause + Adverbial clause (no comma after adverbial
clause)
For example:
They will visit you before they go to the airport.
Adverbial clauses can also be placed before the main clause without
changing the meaning.
For example:
Before they go to the airport, they will visit you.
