Adverb clauses

 

REVIEW OF SENTENCE STYLES

 

*SIMPLE – 1 main/independent clause

SV   SSV   SVV  SSVV   Imperative   Interrogative

1.       FANBOYS SOBA

2.       ; semicolon

COMPLEX SENTENCES=        simple sentence + subordinate clause

COMPLEX SENTENCE- ADVERB CLAUSES

- because when if (most commonly used)

 

Two ways to make a sentence with an adverb clause

 

 

because – reason

Jun is happy today. Her son is visiting her. Two main clauses. Two simple sentences.

 

Turn one of the main clauses into a subordinate adverb clause.

1.       main clause + adverb clause

Jun is happy today because her son is visiting her.

NOTE: no comma before because, small detail

 

2.       adverb clause, + main clause 

Because Jun’s son is visiting her, she is happy today.

NOTE: use a comma

Either way is good. It is your choice.

 

** OLD-FASHIONED RULE-  Don’t start your sentences with ‘because’.

It’s fine. I do. We can ignore this rule.

 

Because it’s snowy today, some people are a little late. OK, my opinion

Some people are a little late today because it’s snowy. Alternative

Either way is fine. It’s your choice.

 

Some people are a little late, because it’s snowy. NOT THE BEST STYLE

 

ADVICE: Don’t put a comma before ‘because’. You will see people do it, but it isn’t the best choice.

 

Stylistic choice, writing style

MY FREE ADVICE- Be consistent.

 

 

Some people are a little late today. Because it’s snowy. XXX frag

 

 

MAIN THING ABOUT COMMAS:

The baby is crying because she is tired. NO COMMA

Because the baby is tired, she is crying. COMMA

Good style. Works everywhere- school , job, writing

 

MAIN CLAUSE (SIMPLE SENTENCE)

ADVERB CLAUSE

MAIN CL + ADVERB CL = COMPLEX SENTENCE

 

Do it like that. Everything will be ok.

 

 

* when - time

1.       main clause + adverb clause

My dog gets up when I get up. no comma

2.       adverb clause, + main clause 

When I get up, my dog gets up. comma
