The adverbial clause functions as a single adverb. It usually modifies the verb in the main clause. In doing so, it answers one of the following questions: How? Why? When? Where? To what extent? and Under what conditions? Was the action of the verb performed?
Example:
The work stops then. (single adverb)
The work stops when it rains. (adverbial clause)
The Adverbial clause, depending on its meaning, may be classified as an adverbial clause of time, place, manner, cause, condition, concession, comparison, result or degree. For instance, when a clause answers the question, When? it is said to be an adverbial clause of time.
