GRAMMAR
TASK: ADDING USING SUBORDINATION NOTES
DATE: FEB. 6, 2015
Adding Information to Verbs Using Subordination
Good writers add information to verbs by modifying them with adverbs and
adverbial phrases. They also add information by adding an adverbial clause
to an independent clause. Just as adverbs and adverbial phrases add
information to verbs, adverbial clauses provide the same types of
information and are simply larger building blocks with the same function.
An adverbial subordinate clause by itself is a fragment. When you edit,
check that all your adverbial clauses are connected to a main clause unless
you have created a fragment for a rhetorical purpose. Below are some of the
words that introduce subordinate clauses classified by the logical
relationships they express.
