when, why, how someone did something.

 An adverb clause can come before or after the main clause.

When it comes to the beginning it is usually separated with a

 An adverb clause of time shows when something

happens. It is usually introduced by time adverbs.
 When an adverb clause begins the sentence use a
comma to separate the two clauses.
