An adverbial clause is a dependent clause that functions as an adverb. There are different

types of adverbial clauses.

• An adverbial clause of manner explains how something is done. It uses subordinating

conjunctions such as as, as if, and like.

Example: He’s acting as if he were my father.

Note: We use the subjunctive were with all pronouns after as if.

• An adverbial clause of result indicates the result of an action or a situation. It often uses

subordinating conjunctions such as so … that and such … that.

Example: The weather was so hot that we couldn’t sleep.
